Try disconnecting the start switch wire from the solenoid mounted on your right hand fender first. This will indicate which direction your problem needs to be chased.
Generally speaking:
One direction:
Start Solenoid>Harness>Starter Solenoid/Plunger>Starter
(2001 uses the start solenoid on the fender and the plunger on the back of the starter)
Or
The other direction:
Start Harness>Junction Fuse Box>Neutral Safety Switch or Clutch Safety Switch (
if present)>harness to Keyswitch>Keyswitch
Which direction will be revealed by disconnecting the control wire at the solenoid on the fender. That effectively splits the starter 'control' electrical system.
