All of the electrical works good. When the key is turned to ignition, other that a click in one of the relays under the hood, nothing

Hey, finally got the snow and ice dug out from around the car so I could get under it. There is "no" fire getting to the solenoid. I double checked my ground location, it was good.

So NO power on small solenoid wire when key in start? Then possibilites are Neutral Safety switch, try staring in Neutral giggle shifter while trying to start. If no go then Ignition switch lower part of steering collumn on top is faulty.
