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.
Yes you could but it has a neutral safety switch for a reason.
get a test light and see if there is juice going into the switch and juice coming out of it.
you PROBABLY have a defective park/neutral safety switch
It sounds as though your safety neutral switch has to be adjusted. It has an adjustment kind of like screw that you can adjust. I suggest having someone that knows what they are looking for on it to do it. I had my safety neutral switch replaced and it did the same thing until I took it back and they re-adjusted it.
underneath the steering column. it will have leads running from it to the firewall as well as to the shifter
Safety neutral switch
It is in the PRNDL switch on top of the trans. It sends a signal to the ecm.
There seems to be a safety switch system, the brakes must be applied to release the transmission from park. Don't know location of linkage, if mechanical or electrical. Assembly could be in transmission of console. If no joy, then check wiring and connectors. Do brake lights work - then brake switch probably ok.
It sounds like you may have one of two serious safety problems. A wheel bearing is very bad. The wheel sensor is bad. Either way the system has to be scanned the issue tracked down and repaired.
Neutral safety switch going bad? Starter solenoid going bad?
