It isnt the neutral safety switch. This wont allow the starter to "click".
For a start short out the terminals on the starter motor. (very carefully) If it turns over then you may have a relay problem. But I just think that the starter motor is shag

If you have a vp coil pack they only die two leads at a time, thats why they are designed that way. so car should run really rough. if you think it is the computer which it may be as the car just dying and no lights showing is one sign of the computer ***

I was probably doing less than 20km/h when it let go and it still mabaged to bend every single valve in the engine.
