Andy, if you can bypass the NSS and it starts then you know that the NSS is the problem. I have the NSS pulled from the 88XJ at the house. As far as I know it works fine, but since it is already out it wouldn't be a bad idea to do the cleanup of it like what Kirk posted. We can clean it up and have it ready to go in so that the swap will only take a half hour or less. I got the second one because I read a lot about people breaking the plastic when removing and I didn't want to run the chance of breaking mine and not having a back up.

I tried starting it in neutral and even tried pushing up on the selector lever in park, nothing. Don't know how to jump it from the starter, wouldn't you have to cut the wires?

I will try to bypass it at work tonight, I'm almost positive that's what it is because I hadn't had any issues with the starter and it seems odd that it would just abruptly stop working. I'll be posting online all night between trying to figure this out. If bypassing the NSS works I'll get a hold of you Roger. Thanks guys

Ok so go to work and tried switching the starter relay with the accesory fan relay. Still nothing. So in a few hours I'm gonna pull the whole NSS switch out and clean it up and see if that doesnt fix it.
