Parking switch or ignition

Not sure if park switch bad or ignition. When in park it just clicks and shuts off radio and electronics but won’t turn over. Tried neutral too but to no avail. Had done before but took into neutral then back to Paul and it started. Seems to be a switch or adjustment needed. Could it be neutral safety switch. Any help appreciated. Larry

Try wiggling the shifter while trying to start. If that gets the engine to start it's usually just the shifter linkage that needs an adjustment, or the cab mounts are rusted through and the cab has dropped.
If it does not start try to short the safety switch, make sure you have proper safety procedures in place.
