Park/Neutral switch----where????

[agteacher]

Quick Question:
Where( and a description of part ) is the Park/Neutral Switch located???? I have located the signal from the ECM--B10 pin, Orn/Blk wire, Park/Neutral SW/Signal, but I and looking for the OTHER end(the part that is engaged when moving the shifter).
The reason: sometimes on the PowerLogger,when you put-up the data page, the Park/Neutral box will not be "checked".
THANKS for the Help

I believe its hooked to the shifter. Should be Purple and Yellow wires.

I will check to see what is the problem.

It's located on the steering column near the base. It is white in color and adjustable by moving it left or right. It could be the rod between the trans and the column is slightly out of adjustment. Can you change the status by rotating the collar on the steering column? Is it a column shift or a floor shift?

Actually, it's adjusted (more easily) by shortening/lengthing the linkage rod that goes from the trans to the column. The adjustment is made down by where the rod connects to the trans... you'll see it down there. My scrawny ass didn't even need to jack it up to adjust it. Just did the exact adjustment your looking to do a couple months ago..... took less than 5 min. Verify the switch status in all positions when you switch between P/R/N/D and back the other direction. A little tweaking of the rod, and you'll be all set. :smile:

Correct!! That's the correct (and easiest) procedure.
