My 1998 S10 pick up wont start, it has power, but every time i turn the key it doesnt crank or start, could it be the neutral safety switch? and if so how can i tell? thanks

well, the starter has 2 circuits, which is the starter circuit and the starter control circuit. the starter control circuit usually consists of an ignition switch and the neutral safety switch (or a clutch switch if manual). and the starter circuit is the starter motor and the starter relay and/or starter solenoid. before the starter can work, the criteria of the starter control circuit has to be met. when it does, it will close the relay in the starter circuit, and the rest should take place in the starter circuit. first check to make sure your battery is ok, then you need to figure out witch circuit is causing the problem. one way to do that is to bypass the starter control circuit. if the engine cranks, then the starter circuit is ok, the starter control circuit is the problem. then you have to isolate the problem in the control circuit. chances are its probably the neutral safety switch, but dont condem it until you are certain it is the cause of the problem.
