Don't sweat using a screwdriver for testing, also open needle nose pliers, nickles and so on .
This is fiddly and it can be the NSS failing or the electrical portion of the key switch .
Most enthusiasts here like to keep it pristine and original but not always possible for everyone, the Ford solenoid is a common repair / fix for many systems .

I’ve looked for the terminal mentioned. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem I have one. The wiring goes straight from inside the cabin following a single harness that splits to the starter and to the alternator. I have done an overlay of the trigger wire and jumped the solenoid entirely
