it is bolted to the transmission case, it controls park, reverse, nuetural, drive, second, first, and if it isn't in park or neutral your car wont start, so make sure it is connected to your shifter. if that doesnt correct the problem the it could be the pump or torque converter bolts have fell out tk
Could be,low battery, loose or dirty battery connections, starter is bad, starter solenoid is bad, neutral safety switch bad or out of adjustment, starter relay is bad,
Along with the ignition switch, there's a neutral safety switch that could be bad, VATS key chip relay if you have this, and possibly fusible links near the battery. Other than that, it COULD be the starter relay. The wire from the ignition should be either purple or red at the solenoid. If there is a small black wire at the solenoid, it should come right from the battery. The VATS can definitely open this, better if you don't have the chip key when this happens. Find the procedure to wire around it, at least temporarily until you verify it is not the problem. Good luck.
Check the neutral safety switch Check battery cables for looseness or corrosion change the ignition starter relay found in the engine bay goggle ignition starter relay to view it.
If it does not turn over, but the lights work, you have a bad starter.
The starter relay is integrated into the starter. Have you checked the neutral lockout switch? If the neutral lockout switch is faulty or adjusted wrong the starter will never engage. It could also be that the starter wires are cross-connected. Using a volt meter, make sure you are getting voltage to the starter bendix when you attempt to start the engine. If not, start backtracking to the keyswitch to see where you DO have voltage.
Your neutral safety switch-try putting car in neutral and trying it
The starter circuit needs to be configured as a manual transmission. The neutral /park switch can be bypassed at the starter relay. As this switch simply grounds the starter relay coil you need to refer to the wiring diagram and ground the relay coil directly to the chassis.
the answer is the neutral saifty switch relays the starting signal to starter the neutral safety switch relays the starting signal to starter from ignition switch they look the same but plug up different make sure you have right neutral switch
If you mean the ignition relay its in the drivers footwell behind the fust box. brown relay on top
it is located under hood in relay and fuse holder. right by driver front fender
Starter relay, neutral/park safety switch, ingition switch in the column, ignition fuse.
ignition switch i promise
might be starter relay, or the crank circuitry from the switch or to the starter from the relay. I would trace back from the starter to the starter relay back through the neutral safety switch to the ignition switch.
try replacing your your park neutral safety relay
Check your neutral safety switch on the transmission. It is either loose or out by a hair, that is why it work only some times.
Ford is the only one that used a Inertia switch ( safety switch ) You have to remove the fuel pump relay are the fuse.
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.
