A faulty neutral safety switch on a 1995-1997 Mustang equipped with the AODE, 4R70W, or 4R75W automatic transmission can prevent the engine from cranking in park or neutral, eliminate back-up lamp function, or cause erratic starting behavior. All Classic Parts' 8-blade neutral safety switch restores correct shifter functionality and back-up lamp operation with a direct-fit replacement that matches the OEM specifications of factory part number F5AZ-7A247-AA.
Restores shifter functionality. When the original neutral safety switch fails or malfunctions, the transmission range signal sent to the PCM becomes unreliable. This replacement reestablishes the correct signal at every selector position, so the engine cranks only in park and neutral as intended.
Direct-fit electrical connector and circuitry. The 8-blade connector plugs into the factory harness without modification. Circuitry inside the switch activates the back-up lamps the moment reverse is selected, restoring the safety and convenience function that a failed OEM switch takes away.
