Having difficulty cranking up your automobile? Well, this is a very likely situation if you've got an automatic transmission—and a damaged neutral safety switch. This switch prevents the engine from being cranked up when the gear selector is neither in Park nor Neutral setting. Its safety function is very important, because if you start the ignition when the transmission is engaged in any gear, the vehicle may suddenly jerk forward and cause accidents. The neutral safety switch belongs to electrical circuit connected to the starter solenoid. When the gear shift is in Reverse or Forward, the safety switch's contact and actuator are disconnected, cutting off electricity flow to the starter. Inversely, if the gear is in Neutral or Park, the switch lets the electrical current flow to the solenoid to start up the engine. Common problems with the neutral safety switch are maladjustment and short circuiting. Both cause irregular cranking when you start up your vehicle. So if you can't readjust the switch or it's already shorted, it's best to replace it. We got a wide selection of neutral safety switches at Car Stuff.
