Best Answer

The neutral safety switch is an interlinked safety system. As such, it is a distributed device, with switches in the braking and transmission control systems, tied through a computer.

If the safety switch malfunctions, an override is included in newer-model Escape Hybrids. To the right of the shifter is a small rectangular access cover. Using a small, flat-bladed screwdriver, remove this panel. Inside is a momentary switch. With your foot on the brake, depress the switch with the tip of the screwdriver and attempt to shift the vehicle into gear. If the vehicle does shift, your neutral safety switch system is malfunctioning and requires dealer attention. Typically, a fuse or relay has failed and requires replacement.

If the vehicle still will not shift into gear, an error has occurred within the transmission system. Contact your dealer.

Information on the neutral safety switch, including diagrams and directions for operating the system override, can be found in your owner's manual.
