Default Ready to Throw Wrenches!!!

2003 Ford F-150 4.2L V-6 won't start for me. I was at a gas station and came back out to find my truck wouldn't turn over with the key. I popped the hood, and it fired right up with a screwdriver at the Solenoid on the firewall and I drove home. I tested the Starter and Solenoid, Solenoid on the firewall, ignition switch under the steering column, and the Neutral Safety Switch on the Tranny. Everythings workin fine, but still won't turn over! Some help PLEASE!!!

Battery is totally clean and non corrosive. Posts and wires are clean and tight. That was the first thing I checked at the gas station and nothing.

Seems as tho the ignition switch might have gone bad.

They do that sometimes.
