I had the paper clip.  I keep it twisted around the wiring near the
diagnostic port.  I just neglected to move it into the proper proper

I will re-do it in a while.  I figured the jumper did something

If I make it to a race track I will try to leave nothing but traces of
rubber and broken hearts behind.
