If you should notice that the shift position display in the cluster fails to illuminate the "P" while the Shift lever is in "Park", the problem lies with the quadrant switch in the console.
This item not only tells the TCM what gear's been selected, but also energizes the key interlock in the steering column (so that you can't lock the steering wheel while still in gear).
When it doesn't make the connection in the "P" position, it won't release the key, nor turn on the indicator in the cluster
.
