Relocating of the Neutral Safety Switch
I am in the process of eliminating the NSS on my Duster. After all I have been thru with it, it still leaks and the reverse lights do not always turn on.
Before I start, the picture of the switches are just under the ignition key on the steering column. I just finished setting them up and used hot glue so I have not yet put them in permanently. I will pretty it up before I am finally finished.
This is an extremely simple circuit. I am using 3 Magnetic Cylindrical Plastic Sealed Reed Proximity Switches with a small rare earth magnet and some hot glue. I drew out the wiring diagram for you.
It really could not be any simpler. I ordered a Neutral Switch Eliminator Plug as Kenflo mention in a post above. I do not want to fight with the switch anymore so I will replace it rather that blocking the switch in the tranny with epoxy as some described.
Works beautifully and if it needs adjusting, it can not be more accessible. I mounted mine on the external steering column, I could have hidden it inside the column but if it needs adjusting I do not want to have to pull the column apart to service it.

The switch on the transmission that you say is leaking is for the reverse lights only. The NSS is on the pedal assembly and mega easy to bypass because you ground out the tab on the starter relay that comes from the NSS ...its a single wire that grounds out when you depress the pedal
