Hi Joko,

What you are describing is a failure of a main circuit. The first thing you should check is yo make sure that your battery is in good condition and that the cables are clean and tight. Let me know if yu find anything wrong there. Then there may be another main circuit problem. Check all of the fuses in your fuse block in the engine compartment. If any of these fuses are blown, it will usually cause several things to not work. If you find any fuses blown, DON'T REPLACE IT YET. Let me know WHICH fuse is blown and I can help you find out why it blew so you can get the problem fixed.

Get back to me on this and we will continue.

just clean out the switch.

It is located on the left hand side of the transmission. You have to remove the shifter cable, linkage, and than the switch. It is not that hard.

It sounds like your shifter cable may be out of adjustment, this is more common in chryslers, you may need to adjust the shifter to get it to start. also the neutral safety switch may be faulty. but when those go bad the car may not start at all.

The switch is on the transmission..It is usually a dealer item but you can get one from Rockauto.com for about 1/4 of what the dealers charge.

OK then the switch is part of the gear selector switch on the side of the trans where the shift linkage hooks up. here is a picture and part number.
