Question IGNITION KEY SWITCH TEST ?

Anybody know the easiest way to test to see if it's the key switch on an 84 Big Bronco? There is nothing when turning the key, battery's good, the solenoid and starter are suspect, but before buying parts I'd like to check the switch.

With the key held in the "START" position, you should have battery voltage at the RED/LT. BLUE wire on the solenoid on the passenger inner fender. If not, check the neutral safety switch or the clutch safety switch (depending upon transmission in the truck).
