C4 Starting Issues

When i turn the key there is no power sent to the small wire on the starter solenoid. I have power to the main lug that is the large wire. I have replaced the starter and solenoid and also jumped it with a remote starter switch. It cranks over fine. I replaced the ignition switch on the steering column and still wont start. I also checked the clutch switch and bypassed it and still wont start. I also by passed the relay behind the dash and still wont start. Before i started having problems it would not start every once in a while. now it wont start at all. I have run out of ideas. Anyone have any ideas ?

So you mentioned the clutch, so it's safe to say it is a manual tranny. What year is it? Someone will have a manual and can give you some ideas I would think.

When you say that you bypassed the relay behind the dash, was it the VAS module? Did you use a VAS bypass module with the same value as the resistor on your key?
