While it may be the NSSW (NeutralSafetySwitch) itself, located on the transmissions input shaft, it's more likely a problem with the linkage. Look UP, Above the Brake Pedal, where the Shift Tube (going up the column to the shifter) makes it's transition to the Shift Cable (that goes to the Trans).
There you'll find an "L" bracket at the end of that tube. It is held to the tube with two Torx Bolts that come loose. This gives you excessive slop in the linkage (there are other slop areas, but this is the easiest one to fix ) and throws-off the "P" position in the indicator.
You'll have it fixed up quick. While you're in there, check out the OD button cables. It's a common problem, and if you're going to have the column apart anyway...
i plugged in my bluetooth obd2 dongle the other day and got nothing. as if the receptacle in the cab wasn't working. maybe i just need to ruffle some plugs...
