Answer
Hi Mark,
Good description!!
I would say there is a good chance the neutral safety switch is either bad, or just out of adjustment.
It is mounted on the steering column, above the brake pedal, and is adjustable.

Loose wire connections could also do that, but I think at that switch is where you need to concentrate.
