Under the dash

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! It sounds like your Ford Edge is playing the ol' "won't start in Park" trick. This could be a sign that the neutral safety switch or the shift linkage is out of alignment. The neutral safety switch is supposed to allow the car to start only in Park or Neutral, so if it's malfunctioning or misaligned, it won’t let you start in Park but works fine in Neutral. A mechanic can adjust or replace the switch if needed to get your Edge back to normal. If you need any further advice or if you'd like help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554!
