Icon2 95 civic - new starter won't crank engine

seen this title about 92 times before, but couldnt find an exact problem relating to mine. here the story, 266,xxx miles on chassis, (swapped motor, too many miles) d15b swap about 7 weeks prior to the starting problem. only mentioning the engine in case it could be part of my problem. i got home for lunch one day, started up right away on my way home. when i get back in my car it wont turn over, wont even try. lights and everything worked. after a bit of research, replaced my starter. wasnt the problem. did MORE reading, replaced the ignition switch. didnt fix it. so now i have a wire hooked to the starter, touching the battery post to start (hotwire) my car every time i have to go anywhere. i could push start it, but id rather not. someone had mentioned it could be a "clutch switch"? any help would be a big help. thank you. there is a killswitch but i know i hooked it up correctly, and ive tried hitting it several times. no response. SRS light is on, due to new ignition im guessing. i havnt reset it yet.could that be the problem?

Check whether the rubber stopper that presses on the safety switch is broken or has fallen out.

Have we seen any rubber pieces around your pedals lately?
