Top photo note the wiring harness with 2 each of brown and green wires. With the trans in N or P have someone crank on it while checking volts across the brown wire terminals on the switch mounted on the steering column right there. If you have 12V across, the safety switch is no good. Stick both wires on the same terminal and just be sure the car is in N or P to start.

If no reading, check one terminal to ground. Should be 12V when cranking. If not, you have a wiring issue between the ignition switch and safety switch. The ignition switches also have been known to have occasional problems. Do you even have the original ignition switch? In many cars the ignition switch bezel breaks and someone throws a new switch in.

By the way, what's the serial number on it? Visible on the driver's door jamb.
