Put it in gear and try to start the car. Then put it in either park or neutral and try to start it.Cranks in gear or doesn't crank in park/neutral: switch is bad.
Doesn't crank in gear but cranks in park/neutral: switch is good.
Though I don't drive this type of car, I do know that most neutral safety switches are found on the transmission.
on the transmission
The neutral safety switch on a 2002 Toyota Camry can be found in the driver side footwell. A neutral safety switch prevents a standard car from starting without having to press in the clutch and are mounted behind the clutch pedal.
on a 2oo7 model its located on the transmission.
where is the starter relay switch on a 1996 Toyota corolla
its on the drivers side of the gear box
left side tranny
It is located on the passenger side of the transmission.
The neutral safety switch is either not adjusted properly or is defective
Disconnect the 2 wires from the switch and connect them together
1.even though it may be in park it may not be passed the neutral safety switch. next time that happens try putting it in neutral and that might bypass that switch. 2.Last time I had this problem on my 1996 Corolla, it turned out that the battery connection to the starter below was loose. Tightened the nut and all is well for past 2 years.
Vakavtchiev and Violin invented the neutral safety switch.
