Default '96- Park Neutral Safety Switch faulty?

Hello everybody.
I have been having a problem with ls 400 ‘96 not realizing it’s in park. When it’s in park the drive part on the screen is lit up. Which doesn’t allow me to shut the car fully off, making me have to unplug the battery from the engine every time I want to take the key out or shut it off because the battery would just drain. Thinking it could be the Park Neutral Safety Switch but not 100%.

Thank you all for your help.

Wrong sub forum. You will definitely have better success with posting in the LS part of this forum.

Have you tried pushing the shifter all the way to the left when in park or putting it in neutral and see if the car turns off?

sounds like the connector on the shifter is stuck or disconnected. you will need to access the shifter and investigate. did you spill something in there?
