Default why this relay

The starter interlock overide relay that's mounted on the firewall?, is there a way to bypass this or, where can I find another one?

To bypass the relay connect a jumper as shown:



That is the same and easier than removing the orange base and connecting the lt green/ black to the purple.

To discourage you from driving without buckling up.

Well I jumped it as shown and still have no crank with clutch pushed in, sitting in seat with seat belt fastened. I know it's an electrical issue somewhere because the blower motor runs with the key off...

With the key in START do you have 12 volts into and out of the clutch switch?

It seems something is grounding out somewhere, there's almost 2 volts
At the coil with the key off, good thing I have a disconnect switch, maybe it was done when I dropped the steering column to put a new rag joint on.
Further investigation will happen....
