Default 99 blazer starting problems

All of the accesories work, lights, radio and windows but when you turn the switch the starter wont do nothing, I have change the relay and starter assuming that was the issue and no luck. Then I figured it could of been the ignition switch and I'll be damm, that did not do anything. With the switch is on I am getting power out the yellow wire in the harness, could it be the neutral switch. By the way if I touch both post on the starter, It will start up I could drive her around but once I turn it off I have do to same thing again to get her to run. Your help will be most appreciated, thankyou in advance.

I checked all the fuses before I did everything else, all the fuses looked good. None were burned out

You are basically going to have to dig into the wiring to check voltages at various locations. If you aren't getting power to the purple wire at the starter solenoid and the fuse/relay/ign.sw. are all good, then the wiring between one or more of those items is likely at fault. The only other thing that it could be is the park neutral position switch.

I just finished working on the truck, and thank god she is fixed. It was important for me to get her back on the road since its my wife's truck and she has upcoming appointments for our newborn. It turned out to be the NSS, it looked like crap. If I would of just checked the yellow wire on the ignition switch harness from the begining I would of had her fixed by yesterday. Thankyou for your advise guys.
