Relocating of the Neutral Safety Switch

[Pawned]

Glad to see it works.
My thought would be to test the proximity switch with a similar load away from the car,say a bulb and a battery.
Run it for several hours or days and see if it will fail.

Those switches are used in household alarm systems, and some can be wired n/o or n/c.
As long as they are secure, they should be dependable.

I am not using the magnetic switches, I am using limit switches

Tomatoe tomato...
Still magnetic.
To me a limit switch would also be referred to as a micro switch. It it uses a magnetic field, its a magnetic switch.
Still a good idea,and it works. You have proven that.

Oh please, it is a fully mechanical limit switch no magnetics involved.

“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.”


Perhaps i misunderstood something you wrote.

first pix is the park neutral switch the other pix is on the right side of the column and handles the reverse.
If I ever get my strength back or when it is not above 105°, I may look to hide these or look for nicer looking switches.

The car is not a show car so I am not so concerned what it looks like

Halifaxhops got the nail on the head, they made 3 or 4 different nss in different lengths, Pawned if i were you check the number on your transmission, i had a 74 duster with a 71 challenger transmission, had a problem that it leaked and car nss by passed by previous owner, got the right nss switch at advanced auto,took care of leak ,and also starting in drive or any gear except park and neutral. I have a kwik lift in my garage, and forgot it would start when nss was bypassed, had my son start the car and with luck i was in front of car and back of lift was lowered with garage door open,it was in reverse and started, he went out garage and 50 ft thru the yard before taking foot off gas and hitting brake. So yes by passing nss is dangerous, but it will cost you less to try to find the right switch than to fabricate one, saying that, if you happen to identify that you have the wrong nss for the transmission.If you go on line and look you will see the difference in the nss made for mopars in late 60s and early 70s. Only question i have, i see that it won't start in gear, but what did you put in place of the nss to stop the leak?

I got a plug for it at the parts store. This ew way works to perfection and no oil leaks
