No, the neutral is only needed at the load. This is where the connection is made to the light fixture.

Why can't you change out a switch for a receptacle?
Electrically there is no reason you couldn't if the neutral exists in the switch box. But in a home, a switch is required just inside every door. So other arrangements would have to be made for that. Replacing a switch with a receptacle would mean there is no longer a switch, of course, for the lights. They would either be on all the time or off all the time. If you need a receptacle at this location, consider installing a combination unit with a switch and single receptacle on the same yoke.

How do you wire a 3 way dimmer switch that has two black wires and one green?
You need to first determine where wires go. If you Google 3 Way Switch you can get a diagram. Each switch has 3 contacts.. Think about a kids teeter totter. Each end represents a switch contact and the center is a common point. You connect the ends to either end on the 2nd switch. The common contact on one switch goes to supply power hot side and on the other switch the common point goes to the load. Then the neutral of supply connects to the load neutral and the supply ground connects to the ground of the load.
How do you wire a circuit so that the switch only controls the second receptacle and the first receptacle is always energized?
You will need a receptacle that you can wire each outlet separately (not jumpered). You would then wire the switch in series on the line conductor with the outlet you want switchable. Wire the other outlet directly to the power source. You can jumper the neutral from one outlet to the other.

How do you change a neutral safety swicth on a ford e350?
The neutral safety switch is located on the transmission shift lever. Its held onto the transmission case by 2 bolts in slotted holes. You will need to remove the kick down lever. The switch will slip off the shift lever with just a little pry if dirty. Replace the switch while the transmission is in neutral. There is a small hole in the side of the switch to stick a small pin or awl into to locate the neutral position of the switch. I would try to adjust the old switch before replacing it.

1990 Delta 88 new starter and battery only works sometimes if you play with the shifter. Is there a switch in the transmission?
On top of the transmission, there is what is called a "Neutral Safety Switch". The shift linkage passes through this switch, and the switch does not allow the car to start unless the car is in park or neutral. The switch is adjustable, and may need to be adjusted. The switch is located it on the top of your transmission, drivers side, under and behind the engine's air intake. To adjust it, loosen the small bolts that hold it down and slide it around. Use trial and error to find a place where it allows the car to start in both park and neutral. If this does not work, you may need to replace the switch.
