Car wont start unless door is open

Explain further, the neutral/ reverse switch has 3 terminals and two switches. The center pin is switched to ground in park/ neutral and goes to the starter relay for neutral safety, allowing the siwtch to activate only in those two shifter positions. The outer two are reverse lights, so the 2nd and 3rd wires in that harness are power to the reverse switch, and the 3rd wire feeds off TO the reverse lights. It routs up through the bulkhead, down to the left side kick panel connector, and on to the rear harness and reverse lamps

I'm still not seeing anything that relates specifically to your problem. Actually there "should" be nothing damage wise in the engine bay that could cause the start problem, as there is no courtesy lamp wiring in the bay. The comments I made earlier were more "general" and also if someone had hacked some anti theft device in.

Hey there. I have made a ton of headway since the last time I posted on this forum, but some new issue have come up. I can start the car every time regardless of door. The connection from ignition switch to the rest of the car was loose, broken, and shorting the wires. However, now when I put the car in any other gear, it stalls. I have been back and forth from torque converter, to ignition box, to brake booster, and now I’m back where I began. The Neutral safety switch. I need to do some testing still but, would either a busted NSS, faulty wiring to the NSS cause this problem? I jumped forums to somehow who described something very similar to my issue. However my issue is that the car stalls when I push the brake prior to changing gears.
