What happens if 12V is jumped to the wire that is getting 6V in the crank mode? Nothing should be 6V, there is a bad connection somewhere causing the voltage drop and it may be inside the ignition switch or the neutral safety switch.
Have you tried moving the shifter to neutral and retrying?

Thanks Sugar Bear, Sorry for not being clear. The upper is 'live' constant 12v the lower wire I meant is the one that then gets power once the key is turned. Hopefully that makes more sense. All fuses are brand new as the old ones had corroded.
I have gone through all the gears with the ignition turned and it does not crank at all, all that happens is the light dims slightly.
Nothing happens if the 6V is jumped with 12v
