The reserve lights are light green and dark blue, you will find them on one plug with only those to wires attached to a white block on the steering column about 2 to 3 inchs from the firewall inside the car.
The "neutral safety switch" in mechanical so there are not wires persay, but there are other ways to wire one in.
Begin by removing the wiring from the 2002 Chevy Cavalier neutral safety switch. Remove the neutral safety switch retaining screws. Reverse the process to install your new neutral safety switch.
Most likely it is. I have had several neutral safety switch issues before, and it sounds like what happened to me. If you put it in reverse do the reverse lights light up? If not that is also a safety switch problem.
It only allows starting the engine in park or neutral. It also is the reverse light switch.
Could it be the Neutral Safety Switch is out of alignment? Thinks Reverse is Neutral? I don't know Rovers, but there is a safety switch in vehicles with Automatic Transmissions, that prohibit the vehicle from being started in a Driver or Reverse gear.
A neutral safety switch makes sure that the gear select is either in neutral, or park, befor a car is allowed to start. No, it will not stop a trans for allowing you to put it in reverse.
find where the shift linkage connects to the transmission, on some model cars the neutral safety switch is there, it may be a multi switch also controlling the reverse lights.
It is on the side of the transmission where the shifter cable bolts to. It is built into the neutral safety switch.
neutral safety switch/ or reverse switch faulty thanks. how would i go about replacing the safety switch? is it difficult?
It only allows starting in park and neutral, and runs the reverse lights.
It only allows starting in park and neutral and it turns on the reverse lights.
To override a neutral safety switch, locate it (it should be at the base of the steering column) and remove the green and brown wire. Connecting these two wires together will bypass the safety switch and your reverse lights will turn on.
It's most likely the reverse/neutral safety switch located on your transmission
