Re: '99 GC - Won't Crank in Park - New Shift Position Switch
Linkage adjustment.
The shift lever is in Park, but the Neutral Safety Switch is not in the right position. Can you push the lever more to the P setting and get the car to start better? I once owned a Mustang that would not always start in P. I simply had to push the shifter more to P to get the safety switch to be happy.

Yea. there is only one switch in the ZJ/WJ line and that is the one in the transmission. -- DougW |
