Full power to all systems. When trying to start, all systems come on, but nothing happens. Starter does not attempt to engage, no clicking, nothing. Or vehicle starts normally. Suspect neutral safety switch, but am unable to find correct info for this particular model online.

Hello,

So, in an event of no start, what do you have to do to get it started?
Do you have to wiggle the shift lever back and forth?
Or if you try a few more times to start, it will start up without input to the shift lever?

If you have to move the shift lever back and forth to start, it could be the neutral safety switch.

Another possibility is a faulty ignition switch that has worn components.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
