1996 Jeep Cherokee only starts in Nuetral
1996 jeep cherokee that will not start in park. We used to be able to push up on the gear shift and it will start. Now it will only start in Nuetral. Where can I look to fix this problem? Thanks, Tommy.

Depends on the trans....If it's an Aisan Warner 4 spd, the neutral safety is (EXPENSIVE) on the right hand side of the trans with a big ole wiring harness coming up the right side of the engine...........If it's a Chrysler built trans I wanna say it's the little bolt in switch on the left side of the case??? (may be wrong on this one)...........BTW.The AW4's neutral safety is ADJUSTABLE

The switch tricks your vehicle into thinking it's in neutral when it's in Park. When the inerds of the switch go bad, the sensor no longer can tell what gear it is in besides the default neutral position.

You can always bypass something, just that when this is done, the car would be able to start in any gear.
I am not sure how you would adjust it, but if the part is cheap, just replace it.
