A big thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my post.

I understand the wiring and what I have to do to wire in the NSS. Purple wire #919 from Ignition--> NSS-->NSS-->Starter.

The point I was trying to make was that when doing the continuity test with my multimeter I was getting the opposite readings from what it should be. Maybe the wrong switch was put in the box with the shifter? I did use the adjuster plug and followed the instructions.

Park/Neutral reading 1 meaning open circuit (no power to starter) and R,D,OD, was reading 0.3 meaning closed circuit. (power to starter).

The Lokar instructions say the below:

The Lokar Neutral Safety Switch passes current (is turned on)
when the ball is pushed in. It does not pass current (is turned off)
when the ball is out at its at-rest position.

Maybe I'll pull out the NSS and bench test to to see if it's reading correctly.

thoughts?
