Ok so last April I installed a brand new NSS since I broke mine trying to clean it. Now last week my Jeep would not start outside a mall. So I jumped the starter relay to get it home. I tried adjusting the NSS and now it starts but no reverse lights again because of it. Now it keeps throwing the check engine light with the Code 1899 saying that the NSS is stuck. Can somone give me some insist. I have some knowledge with this since I have been dealing with it for a while. I dont know how it can be dirty already its only been on 8 months. I dont want to break another one.

Mine got dirty after 6 months after I cleaned it, cause its not really sealed all that well. If its new then I doubt there would be an issue with taking it off and cleaning it. The trick is to clean it with solvent, use lots of diaelectric grease on everything in there, use rtv to seal up the case and then use never seize on the shaft before you put it back on.

If you don't need the backup lights for state inspections, it is easier to bypass.

What if you need them for seeing behind you? lol.

I'd rather just fix than bypass.

It is not all that bad, Make sure when you disconnect your shift linkage and put it back on be sure you look to see if the NSS matches up with the shifter (ie. neutral=neutral)

It is easy only took 30mins if that, but if you buy a new one $$$$$$ It was like 165 new.
OOOOh yeah block a tire and/or apply the parking break. :skull1:

How do you bypass / jump the relay ?

My reverse lights don;t work and I would like to know how to get the thing to start if it goes out completely.

In a pinch with your NSS stopping your attempts to start?

Turn the key forward.....just before the starter should engage, put your foot on the brake and shift to neutral. Then start as normal. This should get you by until you can address the NSS. Works for me anyway.
