I ask why
you ask, Tex?? Have you a similar problem, or do you just
hunger for information??
He meant jumping. To answer your question, I left them alone and removed the top of the connector, exposing the top of the pins, then, after testing to be sure I wasn't crossing + & - or drawing 20Amps, I did the jump in the female side of the connector with the aforementioned wire "U" upside down in the holes, replaced the plug and viola, I can start in any gear I guess, i only start it in P myself.
Regarding my post, I may have the color(S) wrong, I was (and am) working from memory
and the cars are slightly different (his is a
diesel); but the location of the plug is clear in the picture and identical to my M104's, the plug however is different than in his other picture. IIRC the wires that get jumped are the same color (gray/violet stripe?) one each to/from the NSS. the others are the reverse lights(?) most likely.
If you need me to I'll take a pic when the ol' ball&chain gets home tonight.
HTH, Tom
