No Start Red Blue Wire

I have no start. Dead nothing. Got a couple of questions.

Battery is good. Power in the On position is good. I switched the Run and Ignition wires at the solenoid and the engine cranks. So I'm not getting power on the red/blue wire that energizes the solenoid to crank. The bulkhead connector is solid (although could be the fault).

How do you get the ignition out of the dash?
Is there a fuse on the Start red/blue wire?
Is there something other than the ignition, the wire run and the bulk head connector that I should check?

Turn the key counterclockwise so the switch is in the ACC position, and insert a straightened paper clip into the hole in the front of the switch, the key lock portion will pop out, and then you can remove the switch itself, a threaded connector on the other side of the dash panel.

Thanks
I found the problem. If I don't get it solidly moved to Park it hangs and causes this issue. I don't know why I didn't think of it before.
