Frankdm83 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 How do I easily take the nuetral safety switch off my AW4 tranny. I messed with one in the JY for half an hour and ended up breaking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 http://gojeep.willyshotrod.com/HowtoNSSrebuild.htm that's what you need to know. don't loosen the nut too far or you'll strip the threads off and ruin the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 hahahaha LMFAO! does it still have the nut on it? and is there one on your tranny? oh! oh! let me guess your backup lights don't work either do they?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostissues Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 maybe it isnt the NSS, my backup lights still work, is there any way for them to still work and unattached? and i don't know if it makes a differance but i have a manual transmission.

Twisty Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The NSS plug us up by the tranny dip stick, and it runs down and is attached to the AW4 on the passy side near the top. I butchered mine when putting it on. It works though, thats all that matters. What ever you do don't break it when taking it off. They are close to $200 to replace :mad: .

JeepcoMJ Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 $236 to be exact. and if the NSS switch is causing a no-start situation, here's the quick fix. take the B (black) and C (black and white) wire on the NSS side of the connector (next to the tranny dipstick by the firewall), and cut them apart on the switch side of the connector, not on the motor side (that way you can replace the switch with no need for re-splicing the original engine harness). back to the wires...splice the B and C together (you can tell which is which cause the connector labels them) and there's your start. BUT it will now start in every gear...so make sure you watch what gear you're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostissues Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 ok well here is the pic :oops: take notice how it looks nothing like the NSS, todays game was brought to you by a dumbass host and a crappy memory. sorry :nuts: :oops: Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenosha Warrior Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 then its no NSS. probably the control for intermittent wipers/cruise uncontrol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisty Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Dude, where in southern NH are you?? I'm down in Pepperell, MA. Could it be a controll to a heater valve or somthing? It looks like its a cable with a spring on it. Can you follow where it leads to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that it's for the cruise control and that someone simply routed it into the firewall rather than hook it to the throttle body. haha, is it for the gas pedal? them's the 2 things I see it could be...

lostissues Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm about 20 min from concord, deerfield to be exact (Deerfield fair, that helps jog some peoples memories) I'm not too sure where it leads to, i will trace it back someday, the truck runs for now so it can't be any big thing, to the most of my knowledge the heater and the controls work, i havent realy had it running too long, so i havent been able to check if all the accessories work and crap, just trying to get it fixed up enough to get it inspected. almost there Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostissues Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 ok, it loops around and attaches to the stearing column, if you were sitting in the truck stairing down the stearing column, it would attach at about 8 O'clockish after it attached i couldnt see where it went to. makes me thing cruise control, but i don't have that option, unless it was broken off.

JeepcoMJ Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 nope, your steering column is out of a 2.8 or 2.5 auto truck. IIRC you would not have the ittle switch next to the ignition that you have to push so that you can remove the keys? that is what that cable is for. with the auto, when you shift into neutral, allows the ignition to be turned back so you can remove the keys.

lostissues Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 i will check to see if it has the key relaese. i cannot remember, so if it isnt there then it was a column out of an auto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 yup. and in that case, don't worry about it unless you can't remove the key...in which case just reach down and pull on that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjcanoe Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Lostissues, jeep had a recall for brake interlock, to keep you from shifting from park unless brake applied. Looks like shifter end of cable for an auto, they were adjustable of course which is wht the square "knob" is. If you changed to stick shift, don't need. If you can check online for recall # 733, If I remember, application was all xj & mj Auto's from '84 on up to '94,'95 ? hope this helps. mjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 his was more likely changed steering columns. DO NOT remove the cable...cause then the key won't come out. you'd have to disassemble the entire column and remove that mechanism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got used to our 3-on-a-tree van and tried to downshift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
