Default Cannot get 95 Accord to start...possibly neutral safety switch

I have a 1995 Honda Accord EX V6 and am having trouble getting my car to start. When I turn the key to start the lights on the dash come on, but nothing happens. I've checked the ignition switch, battery, and the starter and they appear to be fine. I am able to start the car by jumping the starter solenoid and connecting the starter directly to the battery. I think I've narrowed it down to being either the starter solenoid, neutral safety switch, or simply a bad connection between the ignition switch and the starter solenoid. Does anyone know where the neutral safety switch is located or know of an easy way to test if the neutral safety switch is the problem. Also someone had suggested that I could just run a momentary switch into the car between both the battery and starter and then just push that button with the ignition turned on. Is this a safe method? I just worry about too much current going through that wire and switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Mine starts in the N position but not in park. Some more insight on this would be awesome.
