So I think its time you do some proper troubleshooting for once. Check for continuity from the starter relay to the starter, from the starter relay to the ignition switch.

Are you having problems cranking the car or keeping it running?

You might wanna diagnose your ignition switch, I replace one on my sisters db7 because she had the same problem. That was after diagnosing that the switch wasn't making contact no matter how many times I cleaned it and after doing some genius wiring ( I will not explain ) to confirm that it was bad. Electrical issues aren't straight answers and you're going to need a multimeter to check continuity.

Are you sure its clicking or maybe you're hearing the relays click? Did you have someone crank the car while you stood over the starter?

There's no way to change the wires unless you cut them and resolder them. It runs directly to the switch, so that was kinda pointless.
