neutral safety swith bypass?

[blazinjames]

so ive been looking on th fsm and i think i figured out which one a and b are..so i just cut them and splice them together?

 

[ehall]

Yep

 

[kennzz05]

thought it was b and c and before you do anything permenant like cutting the wires id take a razor knife and expose just enough of the wire to get a jumper wire on and see if in fact thats your problem you might elimenate the nss for no reason and thats just bad planning

what is a jumper wire???

this is what the FSM says about the switch. the terminals for the four-speed transmission neutral switch connector are shown about, the chart shows when contiunlty should exist beteen the terminals, when in park or neutral continulty should exist between B and C; when in reverse between A and E; when in 3rd between A and G; when in 1st or 2nd between A and H

so does that mean i want to connect the B and C?

so im pretty sure my nss is shot and that is why my jeep isnt starting, i was t old i can bypass it by attaching a couple wires together

can some please explain this more clearly to me? which wires do i put together asthere are a few going from the nss to the plug?

also are there any cons to doing this?

Here is what I did for my 1997 XJ... I hope that it helps

This is the 90 connector

 

[blazinjames]

i know

my question is do i connect b and c or a and b?

 

[blazinjames]

it is b and C right?

 

[Jeff in VA]

Yes, B and C......

[blazinjames]

ok, and what should i do with the other 4 cut wires??

 

[Jeff in VA]

don't cut them, leave them intact. All you are doing is splicing B and C together to make continuity in the starting circuit ground (which the NSS does when it is working).

 

[ehall]

tape em off, cap em with wire screws, pull em out of the socket, whatever you want

Wait a sec, dont cut them, two of them go to your reverse lights!

Ok i just went and looked at my notes from when i did it and I think a & e together make ther reverse lights go, that is brown with a yellow stripe and yellow. What year is your jeep?

 

[blazinjames]

its a 89

 

[buzzbombxj]

Mine is an 88 so it should work for yours too.
