Truck will bump start but won't jump start?

My 95 GMC S15 pickup won't start. Battery is less than 2 yrs and has good voltage reading, starter is less than 1 yr and have had it tested, alternator should be okay because lights and stereo come on, truck will bump start but won't jump start. This problem came on gradually over about 6 months, occasionally it wouldn't start until turning key 4 or 5 times, now it won't start without popping clutch. I think it's an ignition system problem?

You probably have a bad ignition switch. Here is a guide to help you test the yellow wire from the switch when in the crank position. If no power is present the switch is bad.

Here is the starter wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
