Engine cranking

[minesapint]

Can anyone quickly help me by providing the terminals to link on the engine bay resetting socket, to provide engine cranking from the bay without sparks.
I’ve stupidly mislaid my “little book” which has all these tips in I’ve picked up over the years!

From the wiki
Diagnostic Plug Start
The diagnostic plug is a connector in your engine loom that allows you to measure certain engine parameters. One of its cooler features is the ability to engage the starter without the use of a key, bypassing all the internal wiring.

To do so, make sure the car is braked and in neutral gear. Have the ignition circuits on, either with the ignition key or using the bridged coil method. Open the cap to the diagnostic plug, and locate pins 11 and 14.

Making sure no loose clothing, cables or tools are near the engine, use a thick wire to connect pins 11 and 14 of the diagnostic plug. The starter should engage immediately, and will crank for as long as the two pins are connected.
