2002 Dodge Durango Repair Question
Asked on September 16, 2012
My car wont read when its in park or neutral so it wont start how can i fix this or can it even be fixed?
This has been going on for awhile now and ive gotten it started plenty of times i just had to keep trying to start it and shift it through all the gears and eventually it works, but now my mom took the car out of town and it wont start at all and shes been tryin for about 2-3 hrs now and thats the longest its taken.

Most probably the Park and Neutral switch is bad. If you can't get it started by wiggling the gear shift, you would need to manually apply battery voltage to the starter solenoid to get it started.

The range sensor switch is inside the transmission and requires the valve body to be removed. Are you able to do that?
Which engine do you have?
