Re: neutral safety switch, 1980 Toyota Celica

Can't find neutral safty switch?

Hi,
It's on the transmission where the shift rod enters the case. It's
retained by the nut on the shift rod and a single screw which permits
position adjustment.
On mine the grease inside had dried up and the contacts weren't making
proper contact.
Cleaning out the old grease and stretching the little springs fixed the
problem.
As a temporary measure there's some connectors where the loom from the
switch joins the main harness where you can disconnect (and bypass) the
switch and "plug the main harness back into itself" as one wire has a
male connector and the other has a female connector. Perhaps the main
harness is common to both manual and automatic models.
