In the process of trying to run a wire from the battery to the starter I inadvertently jumped the two small terminals on the back of the starter — twice, and the starter fired right up and turned the engine over just fine. I concluded from that that the starter is fine. Was I incorrect?
I can see the fuse block, the starter enable relay is definitely not in there. The Alldata diagram indicates it is at the steering column near the OBD II. But when I go to where the area indicated by the diagram, I can see the OBD II but not the relay. The diagram and a couple pix of the area in question on my car are attached.

Great. Thank you for the feedback.
And the idea about prefitting the large zip tie is a GREAT idea.

A head gasket leak does not always result in coolant in the oil. I had a head gasket leak in my Cadillac that resulted in exhaust gases in the cooling system; but no coolant whatsoever in the oil. It was only confirmed by means of a block test. Suffice it to say that if you have oil in the coolant and assuming no one inadvertently poured motor oil into the radiaor/reservoir, you have a leak somewhere; so the appropriate tests need to be conducted to locate the leak(s). Fortunaely, Eric has videos on how to do these tests yourself if you so desire.

I was in a junkyard over the weekend and while there I took apart a similar steering column, and saw how the parts go together. In caase anyone else ever runs into this p[roblem in a similar vehicle, for the record the plastic insert needs to enable the multi-function lever to push on the metal L-shaped actuator rod; in order to control the brights/low beam headlight function.

Yes, oil can leak into the cooling system but that does not mean coolant will necessarily simultaneously leak into the oil. For example, if you have an oil cooler inside your radiator and that starts to leak, you will find oil in coolant but not necessarily any coolant in oil. This happened to me recently on my ’94 Suburban.
There might be no other symptoms at first. This warrants further investigation, because if oil is fgetting into your cooliung system, it needs to be fixed and pronto.
