Maybe it's the neutral safety switch, maybe it's packed with snow/water. Try moving the gearshift lever up and down a few times. Try starting in neutral OR hold the key to start and move the lever from N to R to DR.

Thanks cuda, that's what it was. I had gone out and figured her out. I'll have to get her inside and thawed out to see what's goin on. It's below zero here now so crawling under it outside is out of the questiion.thanks aGAIN.

Ya here too this morning, it's -24 wind chill. It's headed your way. You can use de-icer spray in the connector for a temporary fix. Wait till it evaporates then put some dielectric grease on the connector.
