I'm going with the neutral switch. Try holding the shifter forward or back whilst in park. Try to see if you can get consistent results. Then try in neutral

Try getting in the car, close the door, put the key in the ignition, then lock and unlock using the key remote and then see what it does.
Yeah I’ve tried. All it does is when I go to crank the radio turns off. And when I go back to accessories it turns on again

I thought that too but when I Hotwire the starter motor it stays running. Just tried every gear and still nothing

Turning the key and the radio goes out but nothing happens might suggest the starter relay is cactus.

put a test light across the starter relay socket
test the coil terminals, light should light up , when you attempt to crank
and the power terminals, light should light up always

The starter relay is different to the rest so you can't just swap in a standard relay to test.

I just checked with the relay pins with a test light. There’s power going to the relay when I try crank. I’m going to test the trigger wire now
