Neutral Safety Switch - REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
All Except
1985-89 Eldorado and Seville
See Figure 1
The neutral
safety switch prevents the engine from being started in any transmission
position except Neutral or Park. The switch is located on the upper
side of the steering column under the instrument panel on column shift
cars, and inside the shift console on floor shift models.
To install:
1973 and later neutral safety switches have a shear-pin installed to
aid in proper switch alignment so that insertion of a pin is
unnecessary. Moving the shift lever from Neutral shears the pin.

ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 2
1974 and later cars do not have a neutral safety switch. Instead,
these cars have an interlock between the lock and the transmission
selector, which is non-adjustable.

1985-89 Eldorado and Seville
See Figure 3
All
neutral safety/back-up light switches come with a small plastic alignment pin installed. Leave this pin in place.
To install:
If using an old switch or the plastic pin (new switch) is broken,
install a3/32in.
(2.38mm) diameter pin gauge (drill bit) into the neutral safety/back-up
light switch; the switch is then locked into its Neutral position.
