Default Engine will not crank

Hello, I removed the center console on my 91 Sovereign to include radio, ac control etc. Put the shifter cover back in place but when I go to start car nothing will happen, I wanted to check my AC vacuum line and hook them up to the proper solonoids. Why will it not crank? Any Ideeas?

Best guess from down here.

The "neutral start" switch is not recognising that it is "N" or "P", so no crank will happen.

Posssibly got disturbed with the top off.

Go back in there again, and check all and sundry 3 times.

Try IGN ON with the top off and see if the "P" lights up. That switch "pack" on the RH side of the gearlever assembly may need a clean or slight adjustment.
