Neutral Safety switch issues

Ok so I have spent awhile researching this because I am sick of using a pen to get my truck out of park. I had a rear caliper hang up and f everything up in the middle of winter, I also don't use the 4runner as my normal daily driver and only use it to run a couple miles into town here and there when I don't want to move the truck for eld reasons. With that being said the caliper failing on the one day I was more than 2 miles from my house has kinda wreaked havoc. I shoulda just had it towed back to my house instead of trying to limp it home. I ended up replacing all the calipers and throwing a power stop system in it. But no matter how many times I bleed the brakes or go back through the system I still have to stick a pen in there to get it out of park. Truck is throwing no codes, shows that I am in the correct gear and shifts between neutral and park and drive like normal. and doesn't flip on any lights. Everything seems normal but the neutral safety switch. Does anyone have any ideas besides rebleeding the brakes (which it stops normal and nothing seems off in the brake system) or just flat out replacing the neutral safety switch, which I am not opposed to, I just do not want to replace the switch and have it not fix the problem. Ohh and I am supposed to be going to the Black hills on Thursday and would like to take the 4runner and not my wifes Venza

when my neutral safety switch started causing problems it didnt throw any codes. the shifting started giving more resistance for a while before eventually it threw codes

if you've confirmed the brake system is functioning properly (as best you can anyway) the switch might be the issue, just not throwing codes yet. someone hopefully can help that has experienced something similar. I didn't have any issues getting the vehicle out of park when my switch was failing
 
If the shifter won't release from the Park position, you may have a problem with the Shift Interlock Solenoid, not the Neutral Safety Switch.
