Product Name: Neutral Safety Switch
Product Description: The neutral safety switch is located as part of the automatic transmission shifter assembly. It is shown in the photo to the left as two electrical connectors directly below the shift lever pivot point. See yellow arrow. Note that a light blue and a purple wire connects into the neutral safety switch from the wiring harness. This switch is used to make sure the engine cannot crank or start when the transmission is in gear. It is only allowed to start in Park or neutral. To do this it is also connected to the ignition switch. It is critical when building a street rod, that this switch is installed as soon as possible, to eliminate having someone accidently start the engine in gear. If this were to happen, and there was a person in front of the vehicle, they could be seriously hurt.
