No you are right Charles............my '69 Beetle autostick had that nss.
It seems like this poster had the nss bypassed.

It could be the wiring to the starter got disconnected, or the starter went
bad and needs to be checked along with the battery.
Try jumping the battery to see if it makes any difference.
