truck won't start

The collum shift on the TH350 in my truck was giving me problems, it was hard to shift, and didn't want to go into 2nd or 1st gear when i tried to manually shift it. So, i bought a can of WD40, and i sprayed it on most of the moving parts of the shift linkage. I worked the shifter through the gears a few times, and it feels a little bit better. Then i go to drive the truck, and it won't start. All the electrical system works, battery is fully charged, but it won't crank. I am guessing that this is because i must have done something to the neutral safety switch when i was messing with the shift linkage. Where is the neurtal saftey switch located? If the switch is bad, how would i bypass it?

The switch is located near the base of the column ( about 5 inches from the firewall) There are actually 2 switches inside 1. The left side connector is for the reverse lights and the right side connector is for the neutral safety.

Just look for the 2 purple wires and unplug them from the switch. Using a 12guage wire, jumper across the connector (the one with purple wires) and this will allow you to start the engine in any gear.
