Default '89 200tqa- Anyone ever bypass the anti-theft relay?

Which terminals would I jumper to remove the anti-theft relay temporarily for diagnostic purposes?

I am having problems with a no crank situation. New ignition switch, battery and alternator good. When I turn the key to the start position I hear a relay in the engine fuse panel click. I am thinking that this might be the anti-theft relay?. It could also be the crummy looking starter wire which I will rework as well.

Thanks, Tom

Default Hit the wrecker and check a 5k or 100/200 model fuse box.

Cars without the alarm have a handy solid jumper to bypass the alarm circuits. I'd run out and look... but alass... no more TQs here.
