Jeep starts in any gear
I have a 1997 Cherokee that will start in any gear. I would appreciate any information about what might be causing this problem and how to fix it.

Sounds like either a bad neutral safety switch (NSS) or a short in the wiring for the NSS. The NSS (aka: Range sensor) tells the computer what position the gear selector is in and prevents starting except in "N" or "P".
