Can't get floor shifter neutral safety switch adjusted correctly. Need help!!

[Jim S]

My car car will start in any gear.  I have adjusted the neutral saftey switch in every position known to man and can't get it to complete the start circuit in only P or N.  How do you adjust this thing?

Is the switch possibly stuck internally?  Hopefully, you can disconnect the switch, put an ohmmeter on it and work the shifter.

Good luck.

The switch is most likely bad.  You can unplug it, connect an ohm meter to it and rotate it and see if the circuit works in every position (bad) or does work correctly.  If it works correctly then someone has bypassed it or the wiring harness has a problem.
