How do you jumper the inhibitor relay? (aka starter relay)

[Lt.Mike]

I was just curious how to properly do this. A week ago my inhibitor relay (located on the passenger near the headlight fender on manual transmission 240's) went out and had to buy a new one and my car started up fine again.

How do I properly make a jumper to bypass this relay just incase my relay or another 240sx relay goes out so it can be a temporary fix?

On the relay connections, there are wires labeled 1,2 and 3,5 that are involved in this relay connection. I think I did it wrong the first time by connecting 1&2 and 3&5 which did not work and did not want to mess around with it. Where do the wires have to go?

Once again this post has grown old, but in case you never got your answer:

Look closely at the bottom side of the relay (the side with the pins) and you will see a number next to each pin. Now look at the top side of the relay and the diagram will show you what each pin does. The two pins with a coil drawn between them are what operate the coil - so leave them alone. The remaining pins are what the relay operates - what you must jumper. I won't go into detail on how to read schematics, but if you'll google for help with reading relay diagrams you should be able to successfully bypass any relay. For example, on the simplest of relays there will only be a pair of pins remaining. They will show a line between them but not quite touching one. This means the connection is normally open, so you want to close it - put a jumper between these pins.
