Default 2002 s10 wont start. please help!

hey yall i got a 2002 s10 2wd that wont start. the first time it happened my friend switched the starter relay and the truck made it home. next time i tried to start it, it wouldnt work so i got a multimeter and checked the battery, alternator, starter,and fuse box( starter relay area) . all were getting power. i pulled the starter thinking it could be broke or stuck, it worked. i put the truck the back together and thought i might be the neutral safety switch going bad, so i jiggled the shifter and it started twice in a row so i let it be for the day. the next day the first time i started it it took 10mins. of jiggling the shifter. the second and third time it took 30mins. of jiggling to start it. the day after that it wouldnt start again so i replaced the neutral safety switch and now it still wont start.??? NEED HELP! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ADVICE!!!

Does the car crank after you replaced the neutral safety switch?

Use your multimeter to check if you are getting 12 volts at the starter when the ignition key is turned. If you are the solenoid or starter are bad.
