I KNOW AND FEEL LIKE I CAN DEPEND ON YOU GUY'S FOR KNOWLEGE 'SP?' ANYWAY I CANNOT REMEMBER THE WAY TO WIRE UP A NETURAL SAFETY SWITCH. AND IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, I CAN USE MY BACKUP LIGHT SWITCH. BUT IT WILL NOT DO BOTH, JUST ONE OR THE OTHER. RIGHT???. SO IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TAKE THE TIME, WOULD YOU ETHER SHOW ME A DIAGRAM OR JUST TELL ME HOW TO DO IT.THANKS AGAIN......DENNIS
The neutral safety switch is wired into the circuit going to the starter solenoid. When the transmission is in forward or reverse gear, the switch is in the OPEN position (disconnected). This action prevents current from activating the solenoid and starter when the ignition switch is turned to the START position. When the transmission is in neutral or park, the switch is closed (connected), allowing current to flow to the starter when the ignition is turned. The neutral safety switch and the backup light switch should be one in the same like the one I posted. I don't know if all models are ONE switch? You should get a wiring diagram with the switch or get the parts guy to make copy of the wiring diagram. Or use a continuity tester to sort out which circuts are open and which are closed at each switch postition. Did I help or make you more confused.?
