Just a thought probably not the problem but don't overlook the dimmer switch.

It sounds like when you put the push rod in it isn't going all away into the lock. If I understand what you are saying is when you pull to the first click you have nothing, then as you ease it out further the parking lights come on, which is telling me this which is not moving far enough. I had this happen one time in an old Chevy. If memory serves my problem had to do with the little button you push to release the handle. Hope this helps.
