Either the ignition switch is bad, or the solenoid itself.
I just changed them both. Also put in a new battery and changed the Neutral safety switch. I am getting power to the "boot" connection on the relay selinoid when the ignition is turned on. Anyone have any idea where to go next??

Your 1997 geo tracker will not start unless you jump the solenoid with a screwdriver what is wrong?
replace the solenoid ,is shorted.
1986 rx-7 has overheated a couple times and now it will not start-it will only start after a push start-there is no starter noise what could be wrong?
I would first check for voltage at the ignition switch start feed wire on the solenoid(be sure to unhook it first from solenoid). If you are getting power on this wire when turning to start. It should be an issue with the solenoid/starter. Some part of this assembly could have been damaged from the overheat. If no power to the crank wire, I would get a hold of a repair manual and trace the crank wire from the ignition switch all the way to the starter, making sure it has battery power to that terminal on the solenoid. Once you have that and a known good starter she should crank right up. hope this helps.
Why would the starter try to engage while the engine is already running?
If you're implying that it engages without you turning the key, the problem is one of the following: * a faulty wire somewhere, * the starter solenoid was connected wrong * or the solenoid return spring has broken.
What could be wrong with the electric start on your 1999 Yamaha Grizzly?
Usually battery or solenoid. If you hear a clicking noise, it is the solenoid. find the red wire coming off the battery, follow it until it connects to the solenoid, take off the red and black wires, put new solenoid in and your done.
96 f150 clicks once won't start starts when jumped at solenoid?
Answer 1 - Vehicle Will Start When "Jumped"There could be several causes, but based on "...clicks once won't start starts when jumped.." suggests that there is something wrong within the cables or terminal clamps or connectors [corrosion inside that can't be observed] between the battery and solenoid, OR possibly a defective solenoid.
What might be wrong if a 2000 Acura RL will not start. There is a clicking noise coming from one of the relays and the battery is fine?
Check the starter solenoid, starter ground resistance, and voltage out of thesolenoid when activated. If the solenoid is not clicking then the issue is either the relay or the fuse to the solenoid.
What is wrong with your car if you replace the starter and catalytic converter and your car wont start just clicks when key is turned?

What is wrong when I try to start my 1994 aerostar van and it just clicks?
Dead battery? try jumping it off. bad starter solenoid? bad starter?
What is wrong with a car when it wont start just make a grinding sound?
It can be a defective starter assembly that causes this problem. There are two parts to a starter assembly: the starter motor and the starter solenoid. The offending culprit is usually the starter solenoid, and it should be replaced.
