Default NSS Jump Question

97 4.0

I rebuilt my nss but am still having an issue. I thought I'd run a jumper to see if it's the nss or something else, before taking it back off.
Does anyone know which two sockets I need to jump across? And do I make a jumper out of small wire and plug the connections back together, or just leave them unplugged?
I've done the research but most references are for earlier model connections.
Thanks.

I haven't done mine. The link I posted above shows the black connector. Radi shows it black, then now this shows it Grey! (I'd trust Radi!)

I'm not exactly sure why this one has a 'start/run' position, that's a new one by me. I'd do it with the connectors plugged in and a jumper shoved in

Thanks...I find if I de-burr and smoth the end of a paper-clip is seems to usually work almost OK to get in there....not ideal I guess.

Don't press a paper-clip into a dead short. You might smell your thumb burning before you feel it. Might leave a neat, cauterized gash.
