Re: Problem with Neutral Safety Switch Continuity - Help!

So this means that I can start the truck in gear but not in Park or Neutral which is what it's not supposed to do.

a nss switch gets wired on the solenoid wire, and interrupts the signal when the truck is in gear. meaning, the purple wire usually goes from your ignition switch to the starter. with a nsss switch the purple wire goes from the ignition switch to the first prong of the nsss. the second prong of the nsss goes to the starter solenoid.

so if the continuity is OPEN with the shifter IN GEAR, its working the way it should. the starter signal from the switch goes to the nsss and STOPS.
