ok update. been super busy and havent touched the bronco because i HAVE to finish my jeep commando first (get it driving to move around) before i even start on the bronco but its been annoying trying to start it from the solenoid.
it ended up being the clutch switch. really wanted to figure it out before ordering a new ignition switch. i was able to pop it off and a mini fuse pressed right into place like it was meant to be. in fact i may just heat strink it on and leave it be. whats cool is the cruise control has its own separate clutch switch. when it comes time we'll see if that works.
the thing is a little tough to get off. the clip holding it on is up top where you cant see it. you have to feel for it and i got a pick tool under it pretty quickly.

Seemed to me that my clutch interlock switch and the speed control switch were like Siamese switches. I didn't give a good long look or feel. I did spray contact cleaner into the switch and since it's working. My motto is if it works don't fix it. I would like the emergency crawl on the starter motor though...
