truck won't start

I turn the key all the way forward and it won't crank. I do have all lights,gauges,radio etc. Also if I use a remote starter to start it it will start. I dropped the column and took a look at the rod that goes to the ignition switch, and from what I can tell it is in good shape. I also removed the ignition switch from the column and tried to push the swich to the"start" position using a screwdriver. It physically moved to that position but did not start. I am thinking it is either the switch or the neutral safety switch. Does anyone know how to test either of these, or know what wires I should be looking for 12v at?

Thanks in advance.:-)

You may want to check out the starter relay first. That sounds like the symptoms my truck had when the relay went bad.

Sixx. I'm having a similar problem, did you ever find a solution?

I've already replaced the starter relay.

Is there is fuse or something from the igntion switch to the starter relay?
