2007 Df150 - No Crank Condition

[NauticallyChallenged]

Ok Guys, I know the first thing you'll say is read the "white wire" thread, but I've already done it.

I do however, have the typical white wire symptoms: Upon key on, alarm buzzer sounds for 3 seconds, tach activates, pump primes, engine mounted PTT works. However, motor will not crank.

Full disclosure:
1. Motor is on stand
2. No control cables or control connected
3. White wire goes directly to (+) battery stud via 15a fuse
4. Bought this motor sight unseen months ago, has been my casual project since. This is my first time cranking... or trying to.

Found another white / gray wire coming out of engine that has been taped / shrink tubed off. Wiring schematic shows its linked to the engine interface white wire, but otherwise has no particular home. Picture attached.

Thoughts?

If you have no control or control cables connected how is the tach working and how are you engaging the starter, If you are connecting directly to the starter then i would have the starter checked as it may be cooked?

neutral switch?
with no cables connected would double check position of shifter
if on a stand do you have the full remote elect wires connected?

Catacom, I have the instrumentation connected (ignition, tach, kill), just not throttle, shift, or binnacle.

Art, You got it... I just hooked up the elec. leads from the control box and got the motor to crank. I figured it was neutral switch related, but assumed the sensor was only on the motor side and it didn't need the binnacle connected. I was wrong.

Case closed for now! Thanks for the help!
