besides the ignition switch the shift switch (neutral safety)is also in the circuit

try starting in Neutral rather than Park. besides the shifter switch there are also one or 2 relays in the circuit before it engages the starter motor.

have somebody turn the key for you and try and listen under the hood to see if the bendix is functioning, the bendix was sticking on my starter, i documented that in an older post. rust and old caked grease.

there really is not much in the circuit, if u search, u probably find a drawing that i put together to show the few parts in the electrical circuit.
