Car Wont Start

This is not as difficult as I am making it seem.


Basically I repainted my interior from red to black, and I had to disconnect a lot of wiring to mask stuff off.

Well, I got called into work, and other things happend, so I totaly forgot what goes where. My car wont start, and I was told I just need to plug back in the "nuetral safety" but I am totaly lost.

I have more pics if you need to go into detail

uhm, no.

from what i see, i dont see the p/n safety switch. going by your pictures, i'll say you have an automatic. the wire harness for the switch has like 5 wires on it and its all on one plug. the switch itself should be bolted to the side of your slap shifter. all wire harness are cut to length so it should be fairly easy to sorta figure out where things go. id maybe guess that your p/n switch is the harness that is on top of your '<--- GROUND? TO BLUE' best i can do from what i see

the neutral safety switch will have a large guage yellow coming from ign switch.there will be a large guage purple going out to starter.these can be found on neutral safety switch plug,(appears to be at top of your pics) if that is not plugged in ,it ain't gonna start.feel free to email me with questions.

Thanks... I got it figured out.

When you look at the shifter, it doesnt look like anything can be plugged into it.

The little port is hidden fairly good.

I got it figured out though, thanks a lot.


An unimportant question.

I wanna switch to a manual tranny, so when I do that, where do I plug in the nuetral safety switch?

the plug would then go to the clutch pedal which would have a switch at the top that would allow circuit to be completed when the pedal is depressed
