How do you tell if your neutral safety switch is bad?

Here are some signs that may indicate a faulty neutral safety switch:

- The vehicle does not start when you turn the key.

- The vehicle starts in gear without pressing the clutch pedal (for manual transmission vehicles) or the brake pedal (for automatic transmission vehicles).

- The vehicle stalls when shifting into gear or when coming to a stop.

- The cruise control does not work properly.

- The reverse lights do not come on when you shift into reverse.

- The gear shift indicator does not display the correct gear.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine if the neutral safety switch is the cause.
