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.

Boy..isn't the nss plug black, and the tranny (solenoids), plug grey?

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.
