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

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.

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.
