thats really weird try it again I don't think it's ur neutral safety switch, or Batts whats the volt gauge say? you can un-hook ur batts and reconect them that will clear the ecu and pcu, then maybe try to start it but before you start it shift through the gears just to see if it will trip the neu safety sw. go to the website I told u about post a thread you will get a anwser in minutes..... ur not having a commen problem.

You really are my hero.  I still watch Texas Range re-runs .  Crawled under the dash and checked out the plunger switch attached to my clutch pedal.  Didn't know really what to look for but notice the plunger was stiff and not moving freely with the clutch pedal.  I moved plunger in and out and twisted a few times.  It made a loud "click" and then started moving freely.  I thought oops, if that wasn't the problem it now is.  Got out from my contorted position and tried to start it....Low and behold it started.      Thank you everyone for the sugjestions.

Again...a special thanks to you!!  Had I listened to your wonderful advise before admitting to everyone on this board that I was not a mechanic, I would have:
         1.  Not embarrased myself.  
         2.  Would have incurred at least a 500 dollar bill from a mechanic.

Why would that be a $500 bill? Any good tech would have had that figured out in 15 minutes at most. Having seen many people change all kinds of parts or dig into their truck's electrical system with probes and just generally destroy things with the best of intentions, I advise non-mechanic types pretty quickly to take it to a pro. The reasoning is simple, I have had to charge people thousands of dollars to repair their attempted diagnosis or repair.

FWIW if the switch is unstuck you can hose it out with some electrical contact cleaner and put a bit of white grease on the plunger. I wonder who it was that told you to have a look at that switch in the first place?
