Having an issue with getting the car started in park. It will start when I shift into neutral. All the indicator lights on the shifter are reading correctly. However I’ve noticed recently it takes an extra wiggle to make sure it’s in park. It rolled back on me a couple times. Is this a neutral safety switch issue? Can that cable be adjusted?
If it rolls when placed in park then your selector cable needs to be adjusted.
This would be the first thing to do and then see if the starter will engage in park.
There should be a sticky on how to adjust the selector cable.
adjusting the selector cable is also something on my list to do.
as occasionally when i put it in park it is not quite in park, and i need to take it out and put it back in to get it to start.
very occasionally.
and going from D into R i need to move the lever just up past R before locking it into R as to engage the reverse lights and my newly added reverse camera\
