you PROBABLY have a defective park/neutral safety switch
Yes you could but it has a neutral safety switch for a reason.
where do you install a neutral safety switch on a 1996 saturn
It is located on the Trans Case
Its the same as on all cars. The safety neutral switch is why you cannot start your car in gear.
No
Under the dash on the steering column by the firewall. It is a combination neutral safety and backup light switch.
Check the steering column. There is a switch mounted to the column that controls the backup lights and the neutral safety switch.
Try checking the neutral safety switch. This switch is the one in automatic transmissions that makes the backup lights "flip" on when going from park to drive as you go through the gears. When my neutral safety switch shorted my backup lights stayed on constantly.
The neutral safety switch and backup light switch are one in the same. You have to replace it. It is located on the transmission where the shifter connects to it.
Begin by removing the wiring from the 2002 Chevy Cavalier neutral safety switch. Remove the neutral safety switch retaining screws. Reverse the process to install your new neutral safety switch.
underneath the steering column. it will have leads running from it to the firewall as well as to the shifter
