Legacy777 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Before changing the neutral safety switch, I'd try resetting the ECU. If it comes back, it's not too hard to replace, it just screws into the transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Not hard at all. Disconnect the brown plug that is mounted on top of the bellhousing, under the throttle body. Then on the driver side of the transmission, is the switch, just make sure you pull the right one as the reverse switch is pretty close to it. Use a 19mm open ended wrench and thread it out of the transmission. Its a common issue for the plastic knub on the switch to wear and will erratically make the ECU think its in neutral when its actually in gear.

Gloyale Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 It's not a "safety" switch. It has nothing to do with starting/clutch lockout. that is a seperate switch on the clutch pedal tied to a relay. Nuetral switch is only for ECU operation. In nuetral, ECU will idle engine, If it thinks your in gear...it will not. Also, Off throttle, in gear, ECU cuts fuel for maximum decel engine braking. That is it's only functions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
