'99 GC - Won't Crank in Park - New Shift Position Switch
Guest
Posts: n/a
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.
