Vehicle will start in park but will not shift.

Hi,

When you say it won't shift, do you mean the shifter won't come out of park? If it starts, the neutral safety switch is working.

As far as the location, there isn't a separate switch. The park/neutral switch is integral to the transmission range sensor inside the transmission. See pic 1

Let me know if it is the shifter that won't move. Also, if that is the issue, check to make sure the brake lamps are working. The brake lamp switch is what actuates the shift interlock to release.

Let me know.
