Not a good idea!

Big safety issues!

Looks to be about a $30 part!

Probably much EZier to install a new one than to booger up the wiring, if it could be done without interfering with the computer, etc.

I'd stick with a correct repair, should you lend it/ sell it later, it might also keep you out of a liability bind should something bad happen!

The BCM will not allow the engine to start if it doesn't see the transmission being moved from park to drive.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
