Yes, it can be that simple and most likely is.

If it does start, then does that indicate something is going out?
Should I replace anything?

I will try that later when I get home.
Thanks

Well, I just got home and tried it.
Good news and bad news.
The car does start in N but it won't start in P
I drove around the block and when I parked and shut her down and started again in P, nothing.

SO what does this symptom mean?
What is the problem and what needs to be replaced.
I hope it's not too expensive and hopefully something that I can do myself.
Also, is it safe to drive it in this condition?

Please let me know.

Thanks

It means that your shifter bushing is worn allowing the trans to be in R when the selector appears to be in P, or that the sensor itself is dead.

R & R the bushing on the linkage frist, then sensor.

Click "buy parts" above to find the bushing.

I just had them replaced about 2 months ago because it was squeeking.
Is there another set of bushings there?

Thanks for the info Terry.

It is part number 27 on the diagram. There is only one.

If just repalced recently it could still be a linkage adjustment problem or the sensor itself located in the shifter console.

104 is the gear selector sensor.
