Neutral Safety Switch issues
« on: December 03, 2022, 23:56:59 »
Hi folks,

Having a few issues with the NSS on my 67.  At times I need to move the shifter to neutral to get the car to start.  And the reverse lights are intermittent.   I cleaned the plug and connector, but that didn’t help.

Can’t the NSS be refurbished?

Thanks

Brett

Check the cable, mine had a bend in it and I tried to straighten it but it snapped.  I was able to buy a replacement cable
