Hi all
Working on my 42k mile w114 that was stored since 1995 because it “broke down”. I bought it from the original owners estate.
I have a no crank condition. Also have no rev lights. Read a lot on this forum. I found No continuity at the neutral safety switch.
Bought a NOS NSS. Same. No change. At the NSS, Tried to jump the 2 bigger purple wires together figuring they were for the starter. No difference. Also tried to jump to two smaller wires together - figures these were for rev lights. No lights.

Here is where it gets weirder

I have power to the fuse box fuses 1-6 only. The other fuses starting with 7 have NO power
I do have power to the starter motors main lug with the battery connected. Tried to jump the starter motor and I get a click from a relay on the firewall.

I feel I am close. Seems so simple.

Questions. Which lug on the starter is the “S” ? Maybe I jumped the wrong one?

Why would half the Underhood fuse box have power?

Thanks all!
Rich
