Hello Eagle.

Your transmission range sensor/switch isn't working.
The starting system depends on this so it will not start in gear.
This switch is mounted to the left side of the transmission on the gear select shaft.
They are relatively easy to replace for a technician and is best done on a hoist.
It is also possible that the connection is loose or corroded.

If you would like further assistance with this please ask me here in a comment.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Wont start keeps making clicking noise

If you can hear a click (quite loud) from the engine compartment, but the starter won't crank, this also could be caused by discharged battery-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2003 Lincoln Navigator starter grinding when starting

If you mean the starter grinds from time to time and won't crank the engine when it happens, the problem could be a bad spot on the flywheel and/or a faulty starter. The starter uses a magnet and bendix gear to push the starter gear into the flywheel. If the magnet or bendix is weak, the gear will not engage and can damage the teeth on the flywheel.
You need to have the starter removed and check the flywheel teeth for damage.
