Default In park won't turnover

I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Classic that sometimes won't turnover in PARK but then putting it in NEUTRAL and it will. Does anybody have a cure for this?

Its probably your neutral safety switch. Try wiggling the shifter handle in park. You can tear the switch apart and clean it or buy a new one, but they are expensive.

Agree with the others.

Refurbishing the neutral safety switch often restores full function. Worth a try.

Here is another link on the "how-to".
