I'll say this :

1) try bypassing the neutral safety switch before buying a new one. chances are if the switch was the problem you would also have starting issues.
2) No way I would pay $1,000 to track down this type of an issue. get another radio at a junk yard for $20. and see if you problem still exisit.

I use to have trouble with my intermitit wipers until I cleaned all my battery connections, then for some reason I still cant explain they started working normal. Just saying....
