![]() ![]() I've never been able to come up with a part number for the dummy plug. "When the trucks came with a manual trans, there was a dummy plug used to bypass the NSS switch. Having the NSS (actually Park and Neutral) functioning properly is VERY important. Some talk about the NSS and the reverse lights. Let us know what you find when you get the chance to come back to it. Oh, and how do the regular lights work? Are the running lights dim and the turn signals bright? Just wondering if that particular housing does not have a good ground. When you switched the bulbs you saw that both bulbs still work, and it's not uncommon for the contacts in the sockets to get buggered up over the years. You're saying that the side that is not lighting up now is getting 12v or is not? Now that it's adjusted at least you know you need to look more to the rear socket that's not working because the wire is only one for both lights from the switch along the frame to near the back where it splits off somewhere. Supposed to line up the holes when in Neutral, so something was still off at that point. The not fitting until you put it in Drive was a clue it was not going to work at that point. Thanks all!!! Really excited to have back up lights. Done for the day so I’ll mess with it later but it should be easy from here. Looks good inside but the bulb must not be making connection somewhere. In reverse I tested and get 12 volts in the socket. Now I have back up on the driver but not on the pass. Loosened the 2 bolts and rotated left a bit more and they work in reverse now. I had my wife move the shifter back and forth and there was a spot where the lights worked but went out when it was fully in reverse. This time it started in park and neutral and the back up light flashed on for a second. After I installed still no lights but the truck wouldn’t start in neutral. I had to put the truck in drive so it all lined up. I then installed the switch back on the transmission. ![]() At that point I inserted and small nail and taped it in place. I took the switch off so I could shine a light in the hole and used some pliers to rotate the inside part until I could see the hole. Once the start in neutral position is located, tighten the screws to lock the switch in position.Ĭheck all of the shifter positions to insure it will not start in other gear selections.ĬAUTION: when checking selected positions apply the brakes as a safety precaution.Update. Proper adjustment of the switch can be accomplished by placing the shifter in the neutral detent position, slide the switch forward or aft to locate the start in neutral position.ĬAUTION: As a safety precaution it is advisable to have the rear wheels off the ground and the vehicle properly supported when checking the various shifter positions. The holes on the switch bracket are slotted to accommodate the switch adjustment to shifter detents. The mounting bracket for the switch is part of the shifter mechanism. This photo shows (click on picture for larger image) a restored shifter with the neutral safety switch installed. Reverse the instructions to install the replacement switch. The red with blue wires (strip or ends) control the starting circuit, the black with red wires (strip or ends) control the backup lamps if equipped, Once these wires are unplugged the switch and wire grommet can be removed from under the car. ![]() ![]() Lift up the carpet on the driver’s side and unplug the wiring from the body harness. The wiring connectors are located under the carpet. ![]()
