    Neutral Safety Switch Swap

    My 97 XJ is having issues with the NSS. The backup lights don't come on. I do have a brand new 1996 NSS that I would like to use, but the connectors are different. Does anyone know how to make the 1996 NSS work with the 1997 Connector under the hood? Thanks in advance.
