Help!!!netural Safety Switch

:confused: :confused: :) HI GUY'S, HOPE THAT EVERYONE IS DOING GOOD. WELL IT LOOK'S LIKE I NEED TO BUG SOMEONE FOR SOME INFO, IV'E TRYED LOOKING ELSEWHERE BUT NO LUCK. I DON'T KNOW WHY I EVEN BOTHER. 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.?:CRY:

Hey Dennis
Just wondering where you are in LA I'm in Whittier

MM64 :cool:

:confused: :confused: :confused: :o :oHEY THERE PRO DUDE, SO ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT I TAKE A WIRE FROM THE IGN/ON SIDE TO THE SAFETY SWITCH AND THEN FROM THE SAFETY SWITCH TO THE STARTER SILINOID. AND ALSO CAN I USE THE BACKUP LIGHT SWITCH. BUY THE WAY IT'S ON A TURBO 400 TRANS IF THAT MAKES ANY DIFFRENCE. THANKS AGAIN......DENNIS

Yup. that's how the neutral safety switch should be wired. I don't know what your back up light switch looks like, but it would have to have 2 different circuits inside the switch. The neutral switch side would be closed in park and neutral and open in reverse and forward gears. The backup side of the switch should only be closed in reverse and open in all other positions.
