I’m having a weird issue. My truck was parked for 10 months without turning on, when I tried turning it on it wouldnt come on at all, got a new battery for the car and changed it. Now the car will come on when I press start button, I can use the key fob to unlock it and all but when I press the break and the start button to turn the car on it won’t work.
I tried moving the truck a little so I shifted it to neutral but it kept getting stuck between park and neutral and for a good minute I couldn’t put it in park even though the stick was in park the car kept moving. I was able to place it in park and the car stopped moving but on the dash it shows as neutral. (All of it while the truck being off).

Welcome to FRF. That sounds suspiciously like what used to be the neutral safety switch, which by now, I’m sure is some computer module somewhere.

If you don’t have it already, get FORSCAN and an adapter with a windows laptop, you can pull and clear diagnostic codes as well as configure some nifty features. Forscan changes - tweak your truck

Is it a car, is it a truck....omg woman in distress.orrr...a bot...what to do?....


Need more info. Maybe a Raptor, maybe not. Maybe a Gen Juan, Too, Tres?
Gen Juan has a neutral safety switch
Sounds like a shifter linkage cable issue


I think these AI bots collect our knowlege for their use
