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.
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!
one should first release the Transmission lever position for park to neutral and then release the Park brake lever. This is for any make and model with Automatic transmissions.
Maybe just a linkage adjustment Will it start in Neutral, Reverse, or Drive??
Hi. All automatics will start in neutral as well as park.

It is true that a vehicle with an automatic transmission can start in either park or neutral.
try replacing your your park neutral safety relay
It is the mechanism that prevents your vehicle to start out of gear, other than park or neutral.

please answer my question. Ford truck 1999 V8 4.6 L does not start of park but in neutral sometimes Why.
It's in park or netural. It has no fluid in it. the engine is off. the linkage is disconnected.
Engine idling in park.
