Where is the neutral safety switch located on a 1996 Ford Explorer?

Please supply engine type/size and whether auto/manual trans. If you are talking about the manual transmission model, the switch is located on the bracket holding the clutch pedal.Since it is activated by depressing the pedal it is situated at the base of the pedal where it pivots and can be adjusted by loosening a screw in the back to make it more or less sensitive.But remember, this is a safety feature so think twice before making any changes. For the automatic model, the switch is located on the transmission case itself where the gear shifter is connected.Jack up the vehicle safely, ask a friend to move the gear shifter up and down thru park,drive, etc. and look at the side of the transmission housing: the switch is located in a plastic case where the manual gear lever causes the transmission to shift.There may be two or more wires hooked up to it.

What causes a 98 ford ranger xlt to only start in neutral?

The Neutral Safety switch This is a part found on all cars with automatic transmissions. It prevents the starter from engaging if the transmission is in any gear other than 'Park' or 'Neutral'. It also turns on the back-up lights when the transmission is shifted into "reverse". It can get out of adjustment or fail.

What causes a car 1995 Geo Tracker not to start when it is not the battery or the starter?

If it has an automatic transmission, I'd check the neutral safety switch. It should be acivated by the shift leaver or the linkage. If it has a standard transmission, I would check the safety switch activated by the clutch pedal.

it could be a number of things but the usual causes are the neutral safety switch or an "open" in the starting circuit or simply a bad conection,at battery or starter. Try putting your vehicle in neutral and then try turning it on.if is manual transmission instead of the neutral safety switch it would be the clutch start switch.
