Haven't started jeep for about 6 months won't start this is what is happening
Only cranks in neutral
Gauges won't engage

Has gas
Starter and alternator are new
Neutral safety has problems I know last year I was starting it in neutral fine.
Thanks in advance

You should rebuild or replace the NSS. Lots of posts on the forum detailing a quick rebuild. Eventually neutral will wear out also since the problem is bad contacts inside the switch. Park gets used a lot, but neutral is usually not used and therefore usually works. If you've been using it a lot you may have the same issue now in neutral.
