 Power to the starter basically runs straight from the ignition switch,
through the clutch pedal position switch, the to the starter & solenoid.
However, if the clutch switch isn't closing, you won't see the headlights
dim when to try to start.  You should see +12V from the battery cable at the
starter, along with a red/light blue wire that has 12V while starting.
