3 pin neutral saftey switch check?

I could be asking the question in the wrong forum. The responses seem to be relevant to say a 1970 Duster as opposed to a 2000 Dodge Ram Van.
While the theory is the same, the hardware, in this case of the starter relay and solenoid are different. While the theory is the same, the connections are not exposed and don't readily allow us to simply use a screwdriver to jump the connections and start the vehicle, something which I have successfully done numerous times since I started driving in 1972.
