[TR] TR6 Ignition Switch

I have recently acquired a 71 TR6 that has been laid up for approximately 10
years.

Engine turns over by hand, so I'm ready to blip it with the starter to see
if it builds oil pressure before firing it up.

All electrical systems appear to be working properly, but when I turn the
key to "position 3", I am not getting any voltage to the starter solenoid,
so I suspect either a bad ignition switch or a broken "red and white wire".
Red and white wire has no continuity to ground, so if it is broken, it's
somewhere in the harness, as is isn't grounded between the ignition switch
and the terminal.

It would appear that removing the ignition switch is going to be a major
undertaking unless I'm missing something. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
