What jumper wire (the one for the reverse lights)?
Did you follow Carl Nelson's write up? He says the following:
It will be necessary to remove the starter interrupt relay. Follow the black wire down from the back of the ignition switch. It will go into a relay. Unplug the black wire and plug it into the clear connector under the fuse box with a similar black wire. This will be occupied with a black and white wire from the same relay. Remove the relay and extra wires.

If it's not the starter interrupt relay, it could be a starter solenoid that's getting tired. My Mercedes diesel would do the same thing and it gradually got worse. Replacing the starter fixed it but I probably could have had it rebuilt for less. Much less.
There are later version starters that fit our cars and are smaller, making it easier to install.
I bought this one, (12-41-1-466-100, 12-41-1-720-663, 12-41-1-720-664) but haven't installed it so I can't confirm this is the right one. It's less than $65.
Check the previous forum posts to verify.
