If it is the park/neutral switch that you are referring to, it is at the front of the transmission by the radiator, right below the battery.

N.E.O.

That depends on whether it is the P/N switch, or the connector, or the wiring. Sometimes, it might even be as simple as an adjustment. And other times, it could be the acid from the battery dripping down onto the wiring and the P/N switch causing corrosion. But it sounds like you are heading in the right direction to find out what is going on.

OK, I HEAR YOU, NO NEED TO YELL!

Just kidding, if you have too much play in the linkage, it is possible that would be the cause of your starting issue. Check the bushing, retainers and whatever between the shifter and the linkage at the transmission. Also check the mounting bolts for the P/N switch, and see what you can find.

Take some pictures and post them, I better there are others who would be interested to see what it is all about.

Keep us posted.
