Default 1995 Blazer, good battery, nothing happens when key is turned

1995 Blazer, 247,000 miles. Originally engine, tranny, etc.

A couple of weeks ago, had a situation where I had been driving all day just fine, suddenly it wouldn't start. Put key in ignition, turn on, everything lights up, fuel pump primes, go to turn over and nothing. Open the hood and try some more, and I can hear a fairly audible clicking noise coming from a relay somewhere.

Look up a couple of problems on my phone, try jimmying the gear selector lever a bit while in neutral and it fires. No problems for the next two weeks.

Until this morning. Get in, battery fine, turn key on, everything turns on, fuel pump primes, turn key all the way over - nothing. Pop the hood, try turning over, now there is no audible clicking noise at all. Just silence.

Neutral safety switch crap completely out? This is my daily driver, and had to borrow my wifes rig for the day, so the sooner I can figure this out, the better.

Thanks in advance,
Adam
