    Push button start, truck won't shut off

    This is a common problem on the new Darts. There's a microswitch that should make contact when you shift to park. After hundreds of on/offs it gets wonky. The solution is to cut the wires to that microswitch and solder them together. Works on the Darts, hopefully the same for Rams with a console...
