The round connector is called the C101 - type that into the Wiki and you'll get the pin-outs. It only has two wires to the fuse box, and neither of them are to power the starter.
The black/yellow wire can be used to TRIGGER your starter motor, but power needs to come from the thick power cables linking the battery/alternator.

Although the C101 appears to be connected to the fuse box, only one of the wires actually goes to a fuse. Most of the rest just go in one side of the box and out of the bottom.
