Started clutch switch

I have a 1987 Corvette 4+3. It does not start. The power is on, dash lights, VATs is disabled and I think it is the clutch switch

I think this is a purple and green w/ white strip connector that does seem to go down to a switch on the clutch. I put 12V on the Purple and Green/white wires - nothing, I jumped the Purple and Green/white wires - nothing. It does not seem to be the switch

Is there a way to bypass this ? Is there a way to figure out ? What is this?

Unplug the switch, jumper the wires and then the car should 'CRANK' without the clutch pedal being depressed. If you have the FSM see 8A-30-0.

First - thank you for your help. Appreciated more than you know. I did jumper the purple and green/white wires. Still no start. could it be the starter relay (never touched, probably 1987 vintage. What could prevent the start working??

Thanks
