Starting issue 1982 280zx evilkdy welcome..

Hey guys i posted this before but lately my car is out of storage from the winter and i have been trouble shooting.

Problem: Car does not start or even turn over if the key is turned

-Battery is good i have tested it along with the battery cables-Starter is brand new-Ignition relay is new-All fuses good-Odd things when u shake the wiring harness the car will sometimes turnover.-I'm guessing it is all a broken wire issue but would anyone happen to know where to start searching for the wire as it is in the harness behind the glove box somewhere and it is like finding a needle in a hay stack.Any help is appreciated

what part of the harness are you wiggeling to make it work?and I assume the trigger wire that connectsto the starter is silidly connected and clean and not loose at all, also that wire has a connector near ir, might want t take a look at the wire on both sides of that connector

the interior harness under the glove box is the one i shake, the trigger wire seems to be a yellow one that from the wiring diagrams looks to go from the starter to eventually the ignition, i tried jumping this wire but it didn't help

there si a stack of harness couplers right against the kick panel, might have a lose pin in one of those harnesses, lots of wires in there but it you take a good long look at them I bet somone hackid int the harness somewhere and thats causing the issue, worth taking a closer look at least

i traced the wire that goes to that harness, ignition, and starter, i noticed it was only getting power to the starter every couple tries. I figured it was the starter solenoid and i was wrong but i tried installing another used ignition and that seemed to fix the problem.
