Is my Neutral Safety Switch bad?

I adjusted it Andy's method (Longhorn Man).
"Have an assistant stand in back of the truck.
Chock the wheels, or use the parking brake if it is good.
Place shifter in reverse
Slide the switch back and forth untill the back up lights are on.
Test it in park and neutral... it should be good."

(All the following comments apply looking at the column from the steering wheel end).

Well, the kicker is, everything is good in N with the reverse lights on, which is with the switch rotated to about 11:00. The truck starts, and I have reverse lights. However, I can't get it started in P until about 12:00 and then any degree back clockwise around to 2:00.

No happy medium. 11:00 is the first time the R ilghts come on, and the first time you will get it to start in N. 12:00 is the first time it will start in P.

So, is the switch bad, or is it something else?
