Start by checking the neutral safety switch. This is a switch that won't let the vehicle start if you have it in gear. If the switch goes bad it gives the symptom of not starting in park.

How do you fix a neutral safety switch on a 93 Dodge Caravan 4 cylinder 3 speed?

I have been struggling with mechanics and parts people on replacing neutral safety switch on 1994 dodge caravan (it won't start in "park" sometimes, but will start with gear shift sliding behind the "neutral" area - dealer parts mgr. tells me this is not the neutral safety switch at all, but the "prindle" switch -- anyone heard that one before? we will see when I give the diagram and part to my gas sta. mechanic. Hi there, new to this, so I'm just adding to your answer. Its not a 'prindle' switch, its PRND1 -park-reverse-neutral-drive-first. Besides, if it starts in neutral, it probably is the neutral safety switch. Happy fixing, and good luck!
