Now I am confused...

I've downloaded the Shugart 455 service manual from bitsavers. By
the looks of things the jumper in question is the one to the left of the
control logic ASIC, between a 74LS38 and a 74LS74. It has 2 positions,
to the left DS (Drive Select), to the right UO (In use).

According to the schematic, in the DS position, the LED is not
controlled by the ASIC. The DS signal (active high drive select)
is fed to the input of U7Ba (7406), the output of which has
the LED and a 220R resistor to +5V. DS goes high, the output
transistor of the 7406 gate turns on, LED lights.

If that's the right schematic, it should be easy enough to debug.
