Make sure _all_ the wires are hooked up and that the motor housing is grounded to the van like it would be when it is fully installed. The park function "lives" in both the dash switch _and_ the motor - both have to be there for it to park. The motor housing may not _need_ to be grounded for the park to work but it can't hurt. You don't have to bolt it in - just hold the motor housing/gearbox against bare metal that's connected to the van body. You could even use half of a set of jumper cables - one black clamp to motor housing/gearbox, other black clamp to bare metal that's connected to the body. Matt Roberds
