Car will only crank if a connector under the dash is jumpered?

I'll with hold judgement for now. The main relay is located near the firewall and mounted to the driver's side fender. If you have the starter cut relay it will be located next to it. The Main relay has two plugs. One plug has a B/W wire and a solid Black wire. The other plug has four wires and they are White/Blue, Black/Green, Black/Yellow and Black/White. So again, check B/W in the two wire plug for voltage w/key to on. Also, check B/G and W/L in the four wire plug for voltage (no key necessary for this as they are constant voltage (24/7). Check for clicking as suggested previously.

Hey, lol, youre gonna get a kick outta this ****. Good thing you with held judgement, the relay is MISSING, thats why I couldnt find it. I can see where it used to bolt up to the fender, and the wires from the 2 prong ripped out and the 4 prong just hanging there. I guess I need to start by getting one?
Just to check things you could bypass the nonexistant main relay by jumpering the Black/Green wire to Black/Yellow and the White/Blue to the Black/White wire that are within the four wire plug and try to start the car. Remember to disconnect the jumpers since they may cause your battery to drain. The B/G wire and W/L wire both need to have constant voltage on them for this to work.

Hey man I appreciate it, I jumped those wires and got spark right away, I guess the MAIN relay has a purpose as you suggested. Im gonna quit for the night and put the plugs back in the A.M. Do you think the clutch safety switch is a big issue? I know its fine jumpered like that, but it bothers me that it has to be like that.
