Thanks so much everybody! Returned new starter and received new one. Installed, same problem. But, ran a 2nd wire to battery compartment and "hot wired" it. I too thought of the park/nuetral and fooled around putting it in both a few times to no avail. So, certainly could be that switch cause it sorta acts like it's not in park/nuetral. Hot wire got me back on the road and home, so I'm good for now. Will mess with after I get caught up on z's. Thanks again, I really appreciate everyone's help!
