I assume your car is auto.the switches for the only start in p and n are in the J gate and in the gearbox rotary switch, they both need to to be in sync for the car to crank and start, check the selector cable adjustment. its easy to check put lever in r and make sure the lever is PERFECTLY IN LINE WITH THE R SLOT IN THE J GATE.if not remove J gate surround and if necessary for access center console, adjust outer cable using 24mm spanner until it lines up exactly, the selector cable is also prone to stretching and going out of adjustment due to a fault in the gearbox that makes it hard to get out of park and if you force it it can damage/stretch the cable,

A neutral safety switch allows current to pass from the starter switch to the starter when the lever is placed in the P or N position. Some neutral safety switches are nonadjustable. If these prevent starting in the P or N position and the gear selector linkage is correctly adjusted, they should be replaced.
