Sounds like you've got either a broken or loose wire, follow that harness back to the fuse block. Check all connections as you go.
I believe the ground goes from the starter to the heater to the wiper motor.
If your getting it to turn over while jiggling the harness I'm thinking either something isn't tight at the starter or your going to find the ground loose at the heater.
Goodluck,
Rick

did you wiggle it near the starter silinoid?
I had the same exact problem, it also drained the battery...I replaced the silinoid and I was good to.

I've had the same problem in the past. AFTER checking all the connections, if problem exists, I would be suspicious of the starter silenoid first. Always was the problem for me. May not be for you, but I would look there first.
