Regarding the key light, missing the timer and hookup to power, and I don't think the bulb housing is screwed to the column either. Don't think I want to tackle taking the column apart for the minor inconvenience. I just like all the cool little things to work if possible. Also went 3 steps back. Lost my clock, parking lights and instrument bar lights again, in addition to an intermittent starting issue I thought I fixed with checking and cleaning grounds as well as a new battery.
For the parking lights , clock and instrument light bar, I found I had blown a fuse. Not sure why, but upon replacement got them all back.
The intermittent starting issue , after again checking power and grounds ( especially the ECU mounted UNDER the battery tray - by previous owner - had that issue on a previous car as well BTW) , I believe the issue is the neutral safety switch not knowing the car is in park . I tested the switch per the service manual ( center pin to case as ground ) and had continuity. And the car started fine in neutral. After shifting back to park, it started in Park as well .
Not sure yet how to adjust the linkage to ensure car is in Park. I know the older cars had an adjuster on the switch itself, turning it clockwise or CCW accordingly. But I don't think that is an option.

Update - tried adjusting linkage yesterday and no change. I had ordered a new neutral safety switch anyway, replaced it today, and didn't make a difference, although I am glad I changed it as the seals on the switch that was in there were shot and it was dripping tranny fluid.
I made a 2nd attempt at adjusting the linkage and so far so good ! Have started it about a half a dozen times or so in Park ( and in neutral), won't start in other gears, car shifts good and indicators line up correctly on shifter. Guess I just had to find the sweet spot. I marked it as well in case it happens again.
Thanks for the help!
