You (along with every other 928 owner) should have a relay jumper switch in 
the glove box.

Pull relay XIV (or the jumper that is there), plug the jumper switch 
between terminals 30 and 87. Turn the ignition switch on, get the car ready 
to crank (in neutral) and use the switch on the jumper to activate the starter.
