Default truck wouldnt start

So my truck wouldnt start. I was able to cross the solenoid to get it running. I went and bought a new solenoid but it doesnt start with that one either. Same problem new solenoid. Any ideas?

Did you try cranking it in neutral? or working the lever up/down slightly while trying to crank?

The 'switched' current for the solenoid originates at ignition when in the start position, then routes through the transmission range switch. If you have a 12v continuity light, check for a crank/switched 12v output at the ignition switch first, then at the range switch if the ignition proves out..

That doesnt work either. The neutral safety switch does look beat though. Any chance this could be a ignition switch?

This truck is aggravating me so much that I just bought 90 f350 7.3 dump dually.
