What does the neutral switch on a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am do?

Prevents the vehicle from starting in other than Park or Neutral


What is the purpose of the neutral?

On a single phase supply the neutral is one of the current carrying wires, the other one being the live wire. The neutral is earthed at the tansformer and sometimes at other places as well depending on the system in use. On a 3-phase 4-wire system the neutral carries current only when the load is unbalanced, in other words when there are unequal currents in the three live wires.

Would a soleniod circuit for the transmission make a car not start?

It might depend on the vehicle and transmission in question, but usually a transmission fault, of any kind, will have little or no impact on the engine's ability to start. With a transmission solenoid problem, you may not be able to make the car move, but it should still start.About the only, transmission related problem that would prevent the engine from starting would be a faulty neutral safety switch, or maybe a faulty brake or clutch switch, which can definitely prevent you from starting the engine, even when working properly, that's their function. If the neutral safety switch is faulty, you may be able to start the engine with the transmission shifter in a position other than Park or Neutral, or not at all. Normal function allows engine starts in only Park or Neutral, and for automatics, sometimes only with the brake pedal depressed as well. On manual transmissions the neutral safety switch allows engine start only with the clutch pedal depressed.**Note: some older vehicle models may not be equipped with neutral safety switches, brake switches, or clutch switches.


What is a neutral control switch?

The neutral safety switch prevents you from cranking the car in any other gear than park or neutral. Sometimes this will fail and you will have to manualy flip the switch. also there is a possibility that the car will only start in park and never start if it is in Netural.
