Hi Dennis,
Hi,
Thanks VERY much for the reply & PIC !!!
(was looking for "old style" mechanical NSS on the transmission gear selection/shifter cable linkage [ my bad ;-(( ])
What is the procedure for TESTING the NSS prior to removal/replacement ???? (have a voltmeter [ no Ohms test setting though ]).
What should the voltmeter reading show & how to test IF the NSS is bad & preventing starter turnover ? Do I 'bypass" the switch & test start the vehicle OR other procedure ??.
I have ignition circuit voltage 12.9V (small red wire on top center small post of solenoid) at the solenoid switch (on RF firewall) when I turn on the key start on steering column. (ie. on column ignition switch [mechanical/electrical] is "working" or seems to be working).
Vehicle will NOT key start in P (park) or N (neutral) shift position(s).
[other details] - New solenoid switch; battery at 12.9V ; all battery cells at 2.1V ea; New battery terminals; electrical grounds at firewall & RF fender cleaned & dielectric grease install.
Solenoid switch "clicks" ONE TIME ONLY when ignition key is activated- but starter does not turn over. ( not activated at all).
Vehicle will NOT jump start from second vehicle with battery to battery cables.
Vehicle WILL START strong (every time) when solenoid switch is bypassed. [ + pos battery terminal to +pos starter cable at solenoid ]
PLEASE give details of procedure(s)
Many THANKS
Richard
