Default b18a1 simple starting problem, please help me!

Hi, i have a 5th gen coupe with a 93 b18a1 swap in it.

I think the starter relay [can't find it anywere] went bad.

To start it I have to put the key in the ON pos. and pop the hood and jump/cross the starter wire with the turn on lead.

When I try to start it with the key it does nothing. No relay noises ect. just the fuel pump priming.

It all worked fine till my master cylinder leaked all the clutch fluid out, pulled in the drive way added fluid, gravity blead it, went to start it and nothing.

I also thought it maybe the switch on the clutch pedal, but I checked it, seems to be working, also un plugged it, nothing changed.

Please help, I've got a real nice car that took me a long time to build, I had the d16, b18c5 and now this b18a1, installed them all never had a problem like this

Also my engine grounds are all new and good 6ga. wire with premade ends bought in premade lengths at the local auto parts store.

Thanks for your time.

place a ground wire from the negative terminal on the battery to the bracket around the starter where you can bolt down the harness to. sometimes the ground from the tranny to the chassis goes bad and thats the starter ground
