I have a 2004 to 250 super duty 5.4 and automatic trans it has about 233,000 miles on it. Yesterday when I started my truck I could see my reverse lights were stuck on against the garage door in the dark. After I put the truck in drive the lights went out later on I shift at the truck and to park and the starter engaged I put the truck in neutral and it stopped the starter from running after doing that several times the truck now does it even when it's in reverse or neutral. I have to leave it in drive and push the emergency brake on I am in and out of the truck all day long. I did change the shift to blast may I check the screws on the back of the shift to bury thing seems fine. Any help would be greatly appreciate it

 

I'd look at the starter itself and see if the wires are sll tight and clean. I'm no mechanic, but I wouldn't think the shifter would have any link to it other than maybe the ignition switch (where you put the key in) is loose or something
