Its does nothing all warning light and the dashborad light up, I can get it to jump start by unhooking the relay and using a wire to touch the positive side of the battery.

OK, you have proven that the starter is good. I'm not sure how you did that because I don't even see a relay in the circuit. It's a pretty basic circuit. Starts at the ignition switch, passes through the neutral switch and then on to the starter.
