^^ Doesn't have to. You can always pull the plug and jumper the terminals. Or start from the terminal block. Your NSS is likely just fine but needs tweaking.

UPDATE

I replaced both the bushings and the NSS. The cover for the current NSS was crumbling off and a new, Mercedes OE NSS for $65.

So it's been fine for a few months - not a hint of a problem.

Now just this monring the key went ' CLICK ' when i went into start postion. It started after moving the shifter around.


So it may need NSS adjustment?

Or is there something else that can be causing this?

I'm looking at an 83_300 elec wiring diagram's starting circuit. The path for power to the starter solenoid starts from the battery > terminal block on pass fender > light switch (terminal 30) > ign switch > NSS > starter solenoid. A sticky solenoid, or bad connection(s) bad wiring at any of those components can cause the problem you're having. I'd start by putting a voltmeter on the starter solenoid terminal and measure voltage when it is energized. I'm not sure what it should be but my guess is not lower than 11 volts. If you jumper the solenoid directly to battery + terminal and it cranks, then you know you have a bad connection or component somewhere along that path
