Checked it all out, the solid purple wire is connected to the starter. Double checked my connections. Applied 12v to that wire and the starter cranked a bit. At least I know that wire is properly connected. Is there a way to check if its the ignition switch or neutral safety switch?
Tried tester light on the purple wire with a white line coming from the ignition switch. It has current when I move the key to the 'start' position. I check the solid purple wire, no current. Car is in park. My guess is the neutral safety switch is bad?

I'll be sure to try it in a while, right now my 6 year old sister and cousins are running around the car. Don't want to risk anything there. I'll give it a few minutes so they tire out. But I'll be sure to try it and report back here. Thanks!
