Jumping a relay

[greenmachine]

Hi.
So I thought I was going to fire my car off yesterday. Nope. Turned key, nothing, no click. I used a test light. The big lug on the starter is hot, the little lug is dead. It's also dead at the relay. Car is a 69 net with a new harness, new NSS. What posts do I cross on the starter relay to jump it? There is four connections on the relay. The big post from the battery, the brownish colored wire that heads back to the small lug on the starter, a black wire and a yellow. Thanks.

Battery + to Brown wire to starter should pull the solenoid out to connect the power to the starter windings.

The big post jumps to the wire thats attatched to the starter.

Big post to smaller (uninsulated) post. Be careful, you’ll bypass the neutral safety portion.

I appreciate the help. Just to make sure I've got this down. I jump the large approx. 9/16 threaded stud on the bottom battery + to the threaded connection just above it. Basically the same as touching the big lug to the small lug if I were to reach all the way down to the starter.

In times like this you need to have a Power Probe...$60-70 on ebay...can provide a 12+ source for doing just this!

I prefer my threads not to be arced up so I can back the nut off...

Here's the latest. I disconnected the shifter linkage and confirmed the trans lever was in park. No dice. So I jumped the relay and it worked like a champ. Thank u guys. No I can figure why no ground to the NSS
