Neutral saftey switch issue
by Bad Blud86 on Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:49 pm

Greetings family, I recently installed a B&M floor shifter in my baby (1986 Cutlass).
Once I built up the courage to drill into the floor, the install went without any problems.
I rewired both the reverse lights and the neutral saftey from the actual neutral safety switch. The reverse lights work great but the car still starts in any gear with the neutral safety wires hooked to the shifter. I retraced all of the wiring to make sure that all of my connections are correct but it still starts in any gear. The wires that were for the neutral saftey that I rewired were one orange and two black, one black with a white stripe and one solid black. Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? I even tried it without the wires hooked up and no luck. Again, can anyone tell me what may be wrong?
 
The neutral safety switch in these cars is operated by a mechanical linkage. If you don't have the linkage hooked up that runs from the steering shaft right by the firewall to the trans, it will start in any gear.
 
the reverse lite and neutral switch are on the column and the rotation of the steering shaft driven by the linkage attached to the transmission activate the lite and kill the start in gear. I would say something there is out of adjustment or out of place
