Engine won't crank with key, but will if I jump the relay

Neutral safety switch is the 1st place I would look. Will it start if you put the key in the "run" position and jump it under the hood? If so, turn the key off and see if it kills the engine. If so, I doubt the key/ignition switch. I assume it worked fine by the key before, so I highly doubt the ignition switch. I think your still entangled with the neutral safety switch....
But kind of hard when your in Cali and I'm in Ill. :)
