GC: Park:No Start, Neutral: Start
'99 GC 4x4 4.0L, 117K.
Had the car about a month. Got a call last night from my daughter saying the car wouldn't start. The battery was fine (its new), but the starter would not engage in PARK. I slipped the car into NEUTRAL and the car started. Seems to be the switch which controls PARK/NEUTRAL only starter engagement. Thoughts appreciated on solution (clean, adjust, replace?). Thanks Chip L |
Re: Park:No Start, Neutral: Start
Sounds like the neutral Safety switch.
You probably have the 42re transmission in a '99 4 liter and the part is fairly cheap (<$20) It is located on the driver's side of the transmission. http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n...ansmission.jpg "Chip L" <chiplong@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:1166704669.403864.219780@80g2000cwy.googlegro ups.com... > '99 GC 4x4 4.0L, 117K. > > Had the car about a month.

Re: GC: Park:No Start, Neutral: Start
They can go out of adjustment, but if they use a physical linkage, then
I would look close at the engine mounts and tranny mount before adjusting.
