On your 1992 Ford TRUCK AEROSTAR 4WD, the NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH is: UNDER VEHICLE, CENTER, BELOW SEATING AREA, MOUNTED ON DRIVER SIDE OF TRANSMISSION info obtained from www.autozone.com
No a neutral safety switch allows your car to come out of park.
There are many. PTO. Seat. HYD drive peddle. Neutral.
No your car just wont come out of park.
If a Ford Windstar only drives in neutral, it may be due to a blown fuse. It will be best to check the neutral safety switch or brake pedal switch.
Though I don't drive this type of car, I do know that most neutral safety switches are found on the transmission.
Neutral switch? If you mean the neutral-safety switch, it's a switch that opens (prevents current from flowing) when your car is not in park or neutral. Without this switch, you would be able to turn the key and actuate the starter when your transmission is in reverse, drive and low range.
it prevents you from starting the engine while the transmission is in either DRIVE or REVERSE
If it starts in ANY gear, the neutral safety switch has most likely been bypassed.
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.
Neutral safety switch really has nothing to do with the car moving. It is simply for starting the car in Park or neutral. Do you have the cable adjusted correctly? Drive may be where neutral was. Transmisson fluid low, transmission bad.
I have been struggling with mechanics and parts people on replacing neutral safety switch on 1994 dodge caravan (it won't start in "park" sometimes, but will start with gear shift sliding behind the "neutral" area - dealer parts mgr. tells me this is not the neutral safety switch at all, but the "prindle" switch -- anyone heard that one before? we will see when I give the diagram and part to my gas sta. mechanic. Hi there, new to this, so I'm just adding to your answer. Its not a 'prindle' switch, its PRND1 -park-reverse-neutral-drive-first. Besides, if it starts in neutral, it probably is the neutral safety switch. Happy fixing, and good luck!
I'd check the Neutral safety switch.
