1996 Mustang GT won't start with shifter in Park, but will start in Neutral

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on September 3, 2021

I just had this weird problem today. The engine will turn fine, but won’t start with shifter in Park. Once started in Neutral the motor runs fine with no hesitations. Battery is strong. Any ideas?

One Answer

The range switch doesn't think the car is in park. On Fords theres an adjustable cable if you look on the driver side of the transmission there will be lever with a cable attached. Sometimes the clip on the cable fails. if the cable is OK pull the lever all the way into park and it should start. If it doesn't you probably need a new range switch.
