2004 Crown Vic Police car the starter tries to engage while shifting from Neutral to Drive, any ideas?

The ignition switch and/or neutral safety switch is failing.
Please do not use the vehicle until you are able to inspect the ignition switch,the wire harness connected to the ignition switch and neutral safety switch + the recall on the wire insulator.
The starter gear can damage the flywheel and cause LABOR INTENSIVE repair.

Hi Ridillonjr,
Try looking for a short circuits in wiring from the unit attached to the side of the gear box. You'll need to go under the car, so put it on a ramp or lift. The same unit I'm referring to is the starter inhibitor unit, which will only allow the vehicle to start in park or neutral. I think you'll find the problem between that unit and the wiring to the starter motor. The looms will touch somewhere, so that's the place to start.
