Starter stays engaged ONLY in park???

Yeh but I told you about the yellow wire thing the other day. You are going to have to get it "re connected' to the key "start" wire. Remember, that originally went through the seat belt reset box on the fenderwell

I'll have to look the other up. The bulkhead connectors can be tricky, depending on which way they are pictured, can fool you with a "mirror image"
