SIGNS A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH IS NO LONGER WORKING
The engine starts when you’re in neutral or park, but not both.
The neutral safety switch is designed to allow you to turn your car on in park or neutral. If you can only start your engine in either neutral or park then you most likely have a faulty neutral safety switch. This problem can be caused by starter or battery issues as well, so it may be time for a trip to the mechanic.
You can’t start your car at all or can start it in any gear.
Most of the time when you can’t start your car in the morning, it’s the battery. But sometimes it can be the starter or the neutral safety switch. The battery is the first thing you should check in this situation, but if it doesn’t start easily it may be time to replace the neutral safety switch.
Being able to start your car in any gear sounds like it wouldn’t be a big deal, but it can actually lead to a lot of accidents. Imagine accidentally starting in reverse!
You have to jiggle your shifter to start your car.
This is a sure sign that something has come loose that shouldn’t be. Jiggling can help temporarily patch the connection, but eventually it’s going to come loose again.
