    Yes there is a neutral safety switch and I believe it is on the left side of the transmission tunnel under the driver seat. Do yourself a favor and go to 1000shopmanuals.com and purchase the official service manual for the MM. I paid $15 for the manual and it is 2939 pages long!

    It has all of the wiring diagrams, how to's and symptom charts in it.

    Neutral saftey switch

    It's the switch on the left side of the trans held on by two small bolts. You are looking for the range selector switch.

    better to do a burn-out than fade away
