I have a 92 Honda Civiv DX manual transmission.

I went to start the car and noticed the starter would not turn over.

1. I check with a test light the wire that sends power to the starter.
It was not send anything when you turn the key.
2. I attached a wired to that place on the starter that accepts the
power and did a direct connect to the batteries positive pole and the
starter turns over.

What next? What could be wrong? I assume that the next things that
might be wrong is something on the clutch pedal or within the ignition?
Any suggestions on what to check and how to check it?
