I have this 97 Camry I and I'm having start issues. when the key is turned to acc position the starter engages and stays engaged until I shift to Reverse. if I shift to N the starter tries to engage again and stays engaged until I shift to D .. I've swapped Brendle switch and ignition switch and the neutral safety switch. I checked wiring near ignition never had any alarm nor does the wires look frayed .I've even checked wire in the trunk area where forums said to check, and I've checked wire loom under fuse and relay box under the hood. Does anybody know or can help with this issue and lead me in the right direction? Getting frustrated at this point and read to just install a start button lol
