What is the biggest pain in the **** 16 dollar part for the 3rd gen?

Can ya take a guess??
Make the car not wanna start....

Guess??
Hint not so much the trouble to fix but to diag it and the consequences of your car not being able to start OR even to crank (not battery either). Plenty of dash and all the other pretty lights.......



Give up??





That DANG NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH!! Anyone else have that problem? easy fix and K.I.T.T. runs like a charm!!!
