Auto trans switch
Auto trans switch
Seen a bunch of posts regarding the auto transmission switch, and it's location.
Closest was a direct quote from the service manual.
Jack up the left front tire, fairly high if you're a fatass like me. Look up at just above the rear of the trans pan, toward the main part of the car. You'll see a square rubber boot, that's the trans switch connector. It just pulls off, and you'll see the switch itself.
So, the reason I had to do this is because of a no crank situation. Only noise you would hear would be the fuel pump.
Removed the transmission switch, it's the one that only allows the car to be started in Park or Neutral on an automatic. Cleaned the connector on the car side, and the contacts on the switch with electronic cleaner. Then used the electronic cleaner and cleaned out the plunger end.
Fixed!
