is it possible to eliminate or bypass the neutral saftey switch for a t5 manual transmission? Need help, my harness came apart at the connector and besides it would a relief without having to push clutch in all the way to start
The T5 neutral safety switch has nothing to do with starting the car. The clutch safety switch controls whether or not the starter cranks the engine.
The netrual safety switch purpose is to make sure the transmission is in Neutral (T5, T56, Tremec 3550 & TKO)). This prevents the car from being driven while the computer is in test mode. Key On Engine Running test mode takes the throttle control away from the driver for several tests. This could prove hazardous if the computer was jumpered into test mode and then driven.
The NSS code 67 can be bypassed for testing. You will need to temporarily ground computer pin 30 to the chassis.
Computer pin 30 uses a Lt blue/yellow wire. Remove the passenger side kick panel and then remove the plastic cover from the computer wiring connector. Use a safety pin to probe the connector from the rear. Jumper the safety pin to the ground near the computer. Be sure to remove the jumper BEFORE attempting to drive the car!!!
Just put a jumper wire under the dash where the harness hooks to the clutch pedal box. My automatic notch I swithced to a stick had Ford OEM jumper wires I took out.
