My jeep isn't sending a signal to the starter

This is how I managed to start it again lol! By jumping the top hole to the bottom one relays and fuses all good so far, does anyone know the colour of the wire that sends the signal at the actual ignition switch? It's red yellow under the fuse panel .. All connections look good under the panel under the hood 23492350

Question, have you verified with a test light or meter that you are not getting power to the starter solenoid terminal?

If you are, then disconnect the ground terminal and use a jumper wire from there to ground and see if it starts. If so, you have the classic neutral safety switch problem

I put a new starter in it yesterday and yes it's getting power... I think it's the neutral safety switch, once I diagnose it and if that is the case I'm just going to by pass it

Easy way to find out. Just hook up that ground to the body. If it starts, it is the NSS

A after I finished tracing all the way back to the ignition switch (what a pain) it ended up being the ignition switch lol!

Lol!!!

After the yellow red comes in the vehicle it connects to a clutch thing (for manual) and for automatics it means its a clip thing and then it's just a yellow from there to the ignition switch. That's what I was looking for there!
