batteries are checked with a load meter

Sounds like you're starting at the expensive end and working backwards! First, check your battery, make sure it has a good charge. Second step is the starter solenoid. Some designs have external solenoids, some are internal. Third is the starter itself. Once you are sure all that stuff is good, THEN it's time to start looking for the neutral safety switch.
The check engine light is meaningless when the engine is not running.
These plastic plugs can be very difficult, so first make sure you should not be squeezing the tab instead of pulling it back. 2, once you are sure you are moving the latch the correct direction, you may be able to use a small screwdriver to help pry the connector to start it coming apart. Go slow and gentle as these darn things are so easy to break. Upon reconnecting, fill plug with dielectric grease to keep water out and aid in removal next time.
no click? sounds like a faulty starter solenoid or loose connection. clean and retighten battery cables and connections to that solenoid. If that doesn't work, you may need to remove starter and have it tested.
