Could this be your problem too?
I'll have to check my switch and wires, I know the connector on the trans is broken open, the backshell clips have snapped, seems to be a common problem as every one I see in the wrecking yard is the same way. The pins still seemed to be holding in ok on the trans though last time I looked, I'll have to look in my body manuals and see if there is a wiring schematic that would tell me what pins on the trans to ring out, or is it just that single wire that goes to the solenoid on the side?
