If the key is on and the shift is in park you can safely start the unit by engaging the solenoid with a short jumper wire.

Can start car with screwdriver on starter changed starter still will not start with key?
Either your starter solenoid, if not check the neutral safety or clutch safety switch.
Why will a 91 Lincoln Town Car start with a screwdriver touching the solenoid but not with the key manually?
Not to bash on the last answer, but, the starter solenoid probably isn't at fault here. If it will start with the screwdriver then the starter solenoid is functioning. It either does or it doesnt. The answer lies in circuitry back from the solenoid to the ignition switch. You could have a bad ignition switch or neutral/safety switch.AnswerDefective starter solenoid.
Why starter wont start on car but OK on bench test?
seized engine? defective or disconnected solenoid? starter not grounded? starter is engaging a damaged gear?
How do you know if you need to replace the starter or starter solenoid or relay in your 1976 Chevy?
Bad starter is easy: when you turn the car on provided your battery is good, you will hear a click in the engine compartment, but the car will not start.
What does a car starter motor solenoid do?
When opened by the starter switch, it sends electricity from the battery to the starter motor to start the car.

Why will my car start with remote starter but not with key?
There is an electrical problem between the starter switch and the starter solenoid. The most likely cause is a loose connection at the solenoid or the fusable link has melted.
What is the purpouse of a solenoid?
It is to give the starter enough power to turn your car over to start it..
How do you manually start the starter to make a car start?
Jump the wires on the starter solenoid - Jumper wire connected the large cable running to the starter and the smaller "trigger" wire The solenoid in most vehicles today is located ON the starter. If you attempt the aforementioned answer, BE CAREFUL.

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.

Your car wont start you here a clicking noise coming from somewhere near the glove box could it be your starter solenoid?
It may be the starter solenoid that is clicking. If the battery is very low when you try to start the car, the solenoid will engage but the starter will not turn. Because the battery is so low, there is not enough power to hold the solenoid closed (in the start position) and try to turn the started so as the starter draws power, the solenoid clicks open, The starter doesn't draw any power with the solenoid open so the solenoid has power to close again, the starter tries to draw power and the cycle repeats. The sound seems to come from behind the glovebox because the solenoid is probably mounted on the passenger side of the engine compartment.
1965 Ford Thunderbird starter solenoid replaced new battery removed starter and gear moves and pushes in car clicks when trying to start?
Have the starter tested at your auto parts store. Sounds like a bad solenoid or bad starter.
I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT with a starter problem. I do believe that it's not my starter that is bad it's the starter clyenoid. It will start up halfway then die. I have power to all else...?
What do you mean it will start up half way? If the car will start then it can't possibly be a problem with your solenoid. If the solenoid is bad then the car would not start at all. If you hear just a clicking noise then that means your solenoid is fine but that the starter itself is malfunctioning or that there is not ample power to turn the starter over once the solenoid has engaged. One other problem could be high resistance in the wire that connects direct battery power over to the starter.
