My auto is not switchable, but the inhibitor switch connects the green/yellow to the green/black

Inhibit circuit splits the black/yellow start signal wire behind the glovebox,a pair of plain black wires wander off to a relay,then under the carpet to the selector.

You should be able to operate the starter from the diagnostic socket,though,by linking two pins together.I think you need pins 11 and 14,this was mentioned by Mr Mooooooooooore one day last week,so a search may confirm.
