93 Caravan starting problems!!!!!
I have a 93 Caravan FWD, and am having problems starting it, it turns
over fine, but I have to wiggle the gear shift in and out of the (P)park position while turning the key forward until it catchs and starts turning over. But what a pain, can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to fix it or if there is an easier way to start the van or even a work around?

Sounds like the safety swithc. Its a switch that allows you to only turn the key to III when in park or neutral. > >Thanks |
