Do this on the harness side of the connector, not the switch side.
This will tell the car that it is in park and allow it to start IF the switch is the problem. If it does start, DO NOT attempt to put it in gear and drive as this switch also tells the car which drive gear it should be in and will cause problems.
Just jump them and try to start. If it fires, shut off and get a replacement switch.

Thanks so much, when I get home tonight Ill drag myself under my wet car and check :/ I read somewhere that the Boxster has two Neutral Saftey Switches? One activated by the push mechanism of the shifter and one obviously on the trans. Does anymone know anything about the first one mentioned?
