Re: Starting problems
You can test the neutral safety switch by checking for voltage at the purple wire attached to the "s" terminal on the starter solenoid. If there is no voltage when the key is turned to start, try shifting into neutral (instead of the normal park). If there is power at the "s" terminal in neutral, the neutral safety switch is bad. IF there is still no power at the "s" terminal, it could be a bad neutral safety switch or bad/out of adjustment ignition switch. Try moving the tilt steering column to different positions. If it starts then, the ignition switch on the coulmn is probably just out of adjustment. If there is power at the "s" terminal when the car won't start, then the issue could be a weak battery, bad/corroded battery cable, or a bad new starter.
