Neutral Safety Switch/Position Sensor

Neutral Safety Switch/Position Sensor
96 K1500 5.7 4L60E NP243
Replaced the trans last month. Install went fine except my shift position indicator light wouldn't "synch up". No matter how I adjusted the shift cable or rotated the Position Sensor, the indicator light would not show all the correct positions and sometimes stay in the wrong position when in a different gear. If I bumped the column shifter the indicator light would sometimes show the correct position. The position sensor had been removed several times in the past, and I figured the plastic ring that indexes on the flats of the shift shaft had been wallowed out enough to cause the problem.
With a new AC Delco position sensor, filing off any burrs or belling of the shift shaft, and with the trans in neutral the, new sensor went on fine.
No matter how much I rotate the sensor or adjust the cable all I can get on the indicator light is N, D, and 1. But P, R, 3, and 2 position won't light. When I take it out of Park the indicator light briefly flashes at the neutral position.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks

I put my test light on the 7 pin connector thinking that was the correct connector (7 pins, 7 positions, right?) but the connector diagrams I found online say it's the 4 pin connector that runs the indicator light. I'm going to test the 4 pin connector and see if I get various outputs from that as I move the lever.
