The neutral safety switch on a 2005 Jeep Cherokee is located on the
transmission, specifically on the
side of the transmission case. It's not easily accessible without some mechanical knowledge and possibly needing to remove some parts to get to it clearly. It's usually near where the shift linkage connects to the transmission.
You'll likely need to consult a repair manual specific to your 2005 Jeep Cherokee's transmission type (automatic or manual) to pinpoint its exact location. A diagram will be extremely helpful. The manual will also provide instructions for accessing and replacing the switch, which is not a simple job for a novice.
