What electrical switch should be changed in 1996 Town Car if it does not shift from Park position unless turning the ignition to ON position and then moving to Neutral position to turn the engine on?

I found out that the brake light switch (also called stop light switch) has two functions: 1 - It allows the brake lights to come on when the brakes are applied. 2 - It allows the transmission to shift out of Park position when the car is started on. It costs around $22 at the dealership and only $5 at the autopart store. The removal and installation of this switch was also fairly easy. It is located under the steering column area; it is mounted on the brake pedal, has an eleactrical plug connected to its two-prong connnector and it gets activated when the brake pedal is applied. It takes less than 5 minutes to install it.

Why is the security light on after you changed ignition keys?
The security light comes on after you changed the keys in the ignition from the off position to the on position as a confirmation that the electrical components in the dash board are working. It is nothing to be concerned about.

we had the same problem. we changed the Crankshaft Position sensor, and also the camshaft position sensor. changed ignition coils, and the module under the ignition coil, and still had the stalling problem. an auto mechanic bought it from us and he discovered all that it was was a pinched wire under the ignition module.
