you may have a bad neutral safety switch. if you hold your foot on the brake turn the key and place the transmission selector in neutral and it cranks and starts this will tell all.

On a 1989 Lincoln Mark VII how can you tell if a neutral safety switch needs to be replaced and how do you replace it?

on the top of the steering column, close to the floor is the neutral safety switch. it is a plastic (usually white) piece with wires plugged into it. a screwdriver will remove two screws one on eash side. If your engine starts only in park or neutral then the neutral safety switch is ok. if your engine starts in any other gear then it needs to be replaced. hope this helps.

You most likely tripped the NSS =Neutral Safety Switch. I'm guessing you saw a spark while you were messing with your lights. A mechanic can fix this for you.

Your 1993 Magna wont start in P or N Everything is fine except something to do with the P and N Can anyone tell you how you can fix this please?

How do you bypass neutral safety switch on Toyota t 100?

Look at the connector to the neutral switch, on the passenger side, at the tranny, there should be two No. 12 wires. These are the wires that tell the computer the truck is in neutral or park. The other smaller wires are for the shift position lights and the reverse lights. You can either cut these wires and connect them together of get a 4" piece of wire and two spade connectors to make a loop and connect them to the pigtail connector. Alternatively you can remove the switch and trun it to the park position and attach it to the body. Hope that this helps.
