Actually from what I have heard, the gray wire from the ignition with a resistor in it (which I believe is IN the ignition switch) is a "security device". If that gray wire doesn't have a certain resistance specified with the ignition module, the ignition will not fire the ignition coils. You would get a crank/no start condition. Not sure if there are any other resistors in that area.
You seem to have no crank. The starter clicking and everything going black seems to be either a bad starter (it seized or something) or you have a voltage issue, which could be a dead battery, or a connection issue. Did you make sure the + and - cable on the battery are on good, as well as to the starter?
Also, is the click coming from the 30A main fuse area (where the relay is) or the actual starter? The starter is below the 30A fuse so you might what yo put your hand on the starter to see if the click is coming from there or the relay.
If the starter/battery voltage/connection issue is having a problem, you sometimes get a rapid clicking, as there is a huge load on the system, then the voltage drops so low, and the starter disengages, and then the voltage comes back, it engages, and it happens over and over as you hold the starter button (and the clicking comes from the relay after every disengage/engage).
That is if it is REALLY dead/bad connection though. Sometimes it will engage (click) but there isn't enough of a voltage drop to disengage, but not enough to turn the engine, so it just "sits" there, with the lights off cause the voltage is probably well under 10V or so at this point.
