Re: [Amc-list] Neutral safety switch

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

I disagree with this. If I'm not mistaken, the switch is attached to the 
shifter itself on console shifted cars. On column shifted cars, it's 
mounted to the column. If this was a later car with a TorqueFlight, 
poorly adjusted (or worn) linkage would explain it. If it didn't start 
in park or neutral, by-passing the switch could be warranted to prove 
that it's the switch and not wiring.

In this case, I would try cleaning the switch if you can take it apart 
or if not, replacing it.
