I don't know the T&C, but if it's like 95+% of cars today, including
Chryslers, the gear position switch and the neutral safety switch are
one and the same (OEMs tend to call it "transmission range sensor",
aftermarket calls it neutral/park safety switch or similar). It's
certainly a good possibility to be the problem, but the best approach is
to use schematics (Chrysler - not Haynes) and a multimeter to prove or
disprove it. Short of that you'd need a calibrated crystal ball to know
for sure. You could of course take a gamble and just replace the TRS.
