- Unintended vehicle movement: Bypassing the neutral safety switch allows the vehicle to start in any gear, including gears other than neutral. This can lead to unintended vehicle movement if the vehicle is accidentally shifted out of park without the driver's intention.
- Damage to the transmission: Starting the vehicle in gear can put unnecessary strain on the transmission, potentially causing damage to transmission components such as gears or synchronizers.
- Increased risk of accidents: Bypassing the neutral safety switch increases the risk of accidents, as the vehicle can move unexpectedly if the driver shifts out of park without pressing the brake pedal.
If you are experiencing problems with the neutral safety switch, it is recommended to have the vehicle diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
