I don't have the '89 diagram, but assume that my '93 940 will work.

Find the Service Socket (pink wire, Blue plug) on the left inner fender near the front, and

See if there is +12V there with the Key in Start position III.
= If no voltage, the problem is between there and the ignition switch.
= If there is voltage there, double-check that the blue/green wire terminal is secure on starter terminal 50 (not terminal 16, if present, which I doubt).

If the +12V isn't getting to starter 50, there are 2 connectors in the engine compartment left side, that are in the path from the NS switch. Let me know if you need pin/wire color to back-probe them.
