All troubleshooting involves eliminating possible causes of the problem. You need to find the source of power for the switch and trace from the source to the switch or vice versa. The difficulty of the tracing process depends a lot on your situation. One way to do it is to use a signal tracer. It can be brought for about $20 and comes in two parts. A signal generator and a receiver. You disconnect the hot and neutral wires from the panel breaker and neutral bus and connect the signal source between the disconnected hot and neutral in panel. Then confirm that you have the tone at the switch. Start backtracking to dead outlets with the receiver and remove each intermediate outlet or connection and find out where neutral and hot are screwed up.

The autos do not have a safety switch....They have a sensor located in the trans itself that tells the ecu if its in neutral/park.....I believe its a 3 pin plug going into the trans itself,.....trace it and see where it leads.....You may be able to hook up a toggle switch..

might be starter relay, or the crank circuitry from the switch or to the starter from the relay. I would trace back from the starter to the starter relay back through the neutral safety switch to the ignition switch.
What is the problem if every time you manually push the contact the black wire on then the compressor sparks fire?
If the black wire is sprking that means that is is grounding out. Make sure you disconnect all power before working with electricity. Trace all the wires and look for a place that it may have a naked spot touching another wire or metal object. Also make sure that the Black wire witch is either a neutral or ground is also solid and is tight on the connectors. twisted or loose wires are the usual course of this. If the problem still persist the problem is mechanical
