Also check to see if there is power in the start wire form the ignition switch, the wire is a white wire with pink stripe, most likely not a common problem, but still something that could go wrong. this wire will feed the starter relay under the hood...

Should be mounted on the drivers side of the transmission, usally behind the shifter lever coming out of the transmission.

SOURCE: I need the exact location of the neutral safety

Ford claims a special tool is required to pull the part, but as long as you can find a way to get it out without breaking it, success right? Anyway, If the open end of the bell housing is 12 o'clock and the output shaft is 6, the neutral start switch is located at 9 o'clock, just above the shift lever on the transmission housing.
