I followed the instructions in the book, and it said to take loose the cable that goes to the PRND321 indicator, take the u-bracket loose that holds the column to the dash, let the column drop and then you can see and get to the switch. Make sure to follow the instructions that come with the switch(you can get these switches at most parts stores), they have a little alignment pin that you stick in the switch to hold it in position when you are installing it. Then pull the pin when you are done.
I did it, it's still having the same problem. I'm at a loss.
