**“it will crank in park.but if i shift to neutral it will crank”**

I think that we are missing a key word somewhere.  
Can you clarify exactly what happens (or doesn’t happen), and when these events take place?

I am guessing that the _neutral safety switch_needs to be replaced, but that is just a supposition without some additional clarification.
