Engine won't crank with key, but will if I jump the relay

Ok...here's the latest

Counted the clicks and put the transmission in neutral
Put shifter in neutral
tightened connecting shaft
Put shifter (and transmission) in park
Turn key - nothing....not even a click at the relay. Nothing in neutral either.

To reiterate, this all started when putting on my Bouchillon throttle pressure cable. When I first went underneath the car I saw there was NO wires connected to the NSS.

I'm really thinking it's something to do with NSS though.....
I can start the car by jumping the relay...also replaced the relay and same thing.

How do I bypass that NSS?????
