[W126 Coupe] 1986 560 SEL

[Iain Gunn]

Looking for some advice all you electrical genius's. Our 1986 560 SEL has on occasion not wanted to engage the starter without pushing forward on the shift lever. Or pulling it back into drive and slamming into park. This to me indicates that the starter/park position switch is defective or out of position.  Of course it is now -30 degrees out side and the starter motor will not activate.
Question is there a way to jump this switch/circuit, S16/1,without crawling under the car??
                                                                                    Thanks, Iain
