Transmission indicator position sensor and loss of power

What is your question?

Gear Indicator light doesnt come on when started and when you move shifter on column down to drive, still no light on gear selection, with foot on gas pedal intending to drive, it is gutless. Something is holding back the get up and go. What is it? Something in steering column or a transmission position sensor?
