Will not start in park or reverse when turning the key but the lights on the dash will get brighter and nothing happens with the starter. When I put it in park or neutral and jump under it and jump the starter it will start. I have replaced starter, ignition switch, key ignition cylinder, ignition run fuse, starter relay, an I am about to replace the (nss) neutral safety switch if that is not the problem what possibly can be?

Try resetting security system if no owners manual look online for your car on how to do it. Because you replaced ignition switch it may need programming by a mechanic.
