Ok, pretty sure this is the issue. Just want to be sure. About a month ago I had a no turn over situation. After much ado, it fired up fine. Never to happen for a while, I ignored the problem as a one-time event.

Now in the past week, with very high temps and a very cold garage, I have having this as a daily issue. No crank at all. I try several things and several keys. What I have noticed it that if I shift all the way to first and slowly back to neutral, it will usually start in neutral. Not in park. I learned this one owning a Mark VIII. On the Mark, this would be the neutral safety switch, aka the manual lever position sensor.

Can I assume its the same issue with the 560? If so, can I assume its also an external part that will not involve fluid loss? And also if so, its it pretty easy to replace? Or clean if replacement is not really required on these?

Thanks!!
