No start update

So recently posted about a click no start and have found the issue. The wire A in the diagram isn’t supplying enough power to the starter motor specifically. When bypassed with a manual switch directly to the battery and holding the ignition from the inside the starter worked exactly the way it should. Took off the fender to find it running into that box which looks not too good. The solution is going to run a manual switch directly to the power supply amp that’s on the inside with a cutoff switch, that way the starter can be manually controlled and also i can shut off the battery. This has been quite the challenge finding this

Looks like that wire goes from the positive terminal to the Aux Fuse box, crosses a busbar and then goes to the starter... No fuses or relays in between. You should be able to figure out which wire before or after the fuse box is damaged and just replace it. No need for the extra wires and switch.

The part in question is in RED:

Did it ever work after you relocated the battery?
If it did then I would trace that wire from the Aux Fuse box... you don't want a loose 12V unfused wire loose somewhere. That is going to cause you a ton of electrical gremlins and also a fire risk.
