Ah, I bet that's it. They bypassed the neutral safety switch and did not
install the cable. This is DANGEROUS situation if true. Trust me, if you
start a car in gear, BAD things can happen (Don't ask. I won't tell. It's
too embarrassing).
Seriously, we had a local woman killed this way. Her husband was working on
the family car and was using a remote starter switch (which bypasses the
neutral safety switch). The wife came out to see the progress and was
standing in front of the car while he worked on it. Somehow it got into
gear, started and she was crushed to death.
