Double check the battery and connection if okay and starter is good its time to test the park/neutral switch and ignition switch

Batt & conn are good. Will not start in park or neutral - does that mean park/neutral switch should be good??

Is there an easy way to test the ignition switch? That's a $130 gamble to buy and replace...
Thanks!

Try the starter short out the battery terminal to the small wire on the solenoid and see if it engages the engine, if it does were back to the P/N switch and Ign switch.
