No.  Straight from ignition sw. 50 terminal to control terminal on
the starter.  Probably a connector or two in between, but nothing else.

Use a clip lead or mechanic's remote starter switch from the spare
spade terminal on forward end of starter (reachable by putting your
left hand through the gap over the bellhousing, then groping forward
and to the right) to the big B+ stud on the alternator to see if the
starter is working ok.  Before you do that though, make sure the wire
from the front hasn't come unplugged from the other spade
terminal.  If it has, go back to the cab and try the key again.

Unplug the harness from the ignition switch and jumper from its 30
terminal to 50 terminal with a paper clip.  If that works but the key
doesn't,  the switch is your culprit.  You can then get a switch,
stick it into the harness to operate with a screwdriver, and actually
install at your convenience.

Steering column cover is two #2 Phillips from below, and a spring
clip around the lower column that just pulls off.
