You have to be sure the battery has a full charge and battery connections are clean and tight. Some fuses are hot all the time. Some go hot when you turn on the key.

The purple wire at the starter solenoid S terminal, should be hot with key in the crank position. If it isn't backtrack the circuit. It could be the neutral switch among other things? If the purple wire is hot, the problem isn't the neutral switch.
