The ign light is not associated with starter circuit. It takes a live from sw via lamp to alternator

have you got the black/red wire connected to the main live? the black/red is the trigger for the solenoid from the ignition switch should be wired to S on most starters.
black/yellow or red/blue if i remember on mk2's is fuse box live
yellow and black wire is connected to the spade terminal. this provides a switched 12V output from the solenoid that bypasses the ballast wire ( built into the wiring loom ) for the coil, when the engine is cranking.
12V for the rest of the car electrics is picked up on a red (or brown) wire dirctly from the battery
