Default 98 EX ignition problems

this is my GF's son's car, so don't know much on it.. I tried the search and couldn't find specific info, so don't start your "try the search noob!" ****...

Key turns hear click near the underhood fuse box.
Battery replaced
Starter replaced
Ignition switch replaced

still no start.

If the key is turned forward and clutch pedal depressed, I jump the starter and car runs - no problems once it is on.

Is this main relay issue? where else should I look?

Thanks in advance....

It might be the starter solenoid? or a relay, I'm not really sure..

The starter safety switch located at the top of the clutch pedal may be toast.
