not real sure where the switch is on a bronco it should be somewhere around the shifter. if the shifter is on the colum look under the dash around the colum. if its on the floor look under the truck where the shifter comes throu around the tranny and stuff.

Could also be on the drivers side of the trans. On an 87 the connector has red/light blue & white/pink wires.

Shove a bent paper clip into the connector & see if it starts.

BTW, since you say that the starter relay isnt clicking, the starter isnt the problem.

Ended up being the group of wires on the driver's side, went down and melted itself on the exhaust manifold. I had a friend try to start it while I was looking under the hood and a bunch of white smoke came out there, so I looked and sure enough that was the problem. So I replaced the burnt wires, and it fired right up.
