I took the starter and solenoid (together as a unit) to Advance Auto
Parts. They tested them and said it works fine.
Now, it seems my options are limited. It's either the transmission
range switch (part and neutral switch), the wires somewhere, or the
starter switch.
If it's the starter switch, then why when I turn the key to starting
position, I hear a click in front (probably from a relay). If it's
some wire, then from the relay box to the starter is ok, because I can
wire them from the battery directly to the relay terminal and it
cranks.
If it's the park and neutral switch, I have to find a way to test it
out because it's a pain to take it out. First, I have to open the
transmission oil pan which means to change the transmission oil, which
I just did last month. Second, the oil cost a lot (ATF+4), so it's
better be the reason before I replace it. I also have to use silicone
for the gasket, which means I have to scape out the old one. Not to
complaint, but to say that I have to test this things for sure before I
replace it.
I probably will find way to test the park and neutral switch before
continue on this.
