Hi Ken,
Thank you so much for the response. I received the same advice to start at the TCM. I connected the vehicle to an OBDII reader after logging this question, because I did not find any error codes relating to the issue. No errors on the dash either. I was Fed up, so I traced the wiring, starting from the ignition barrel. I then noticed that my key could pull out the ignition while the vehicle is turned off and still in gear, so I thought maybe it was a faulty ignition actuator. (Still same issue after replacement). I then turned to the gear lever and noticed it was dirty underneath after many years, I cleaned the range sensor board with contact cleaner. No win. I looked at the solenoid that locks the gear lever in position when parked and noticed a switch that I have no idea what it was for but must have something to do with the Park. Turns out it is the switch that was sticky (It is soldered and seems to be part of the assembly unit, after I cleaned it and replaced it, Problem is resolved.
