I followed this process on a 2012 mazda 6. I cleaned the bracket without removing it but, hit it with some pb blaster at all points of rotation and where the cable attaches. I cleaned that off with a wire brush and some steel wool, reattached it, and just to see if that was enough with just that moving easily again, I reconnected the cable and battery and tried starting in park (which previously wasn't working - only neutral). It worked and registers park again now. I didn't have to actually replace the switch which is good because the nut was pretty frozen with rust and I didn't want to force it and hurt the trans. Key takeaway here is try and see if it worked after cleaning some rust off the bracket and where the cable attaches before replacing the whole switch or fighting with the bracket for hours. It may just work.
Having same issue, gonna try cleaning it before replacing it
My car recently is not starting. All lights console lit just complete silence. I hv been jiggling gear selector then it starts. Someone suggested maybe this safety switch. Does this sound like the same thing. Just wondering. Prev mechanic already ripped me off. Said it was starter.
Thanks so much for the well explained video! It would be nice to have a complete troubleshooting guide to cover the situation where the car intermittently does not start in park. Thanks again! You were awesome!
Changing the neutral safety switch is the solution to the long running problem of the Mazda auto transmission gear indicator flickering problem and subsequent jump to 3rd gear. Its a pain to change so I had to remove the airbox to get better access and I would recommended removing it to get better access.
You just save me time and money thank you
Hello. I like your videos, very informative. may I ask you please; I have a Mazda 3 2008 and I need to change the gearbox selector switch and reverse light switch (it is manual), what type of RTV silicon to use when I install the switches as I have noticed they had like some sort of thread locker or RTV silicon that was green in color, the manual says, install the switches with new 'packing', I just do not understand what they mean by 'packing'? thank you very much. Cheers
Hey will you please do some videos for the Mazda 6 3.0 v6
Great pov video...thx...i changed upper tranny mount ..sloppily put jack and wood slats under tranny case and caught switch...snapped it in half at terminals .. 😖
Please please please make a short just about that clip of installation and removal on the cable. We can't get it back in! 😭😭😭
What's that part called that sticking out from the neutral safety switch switch ??
I'm having hard time finding for my Mazda 5 2009
sometimes I have this problem with my Mazda Protege. It is hard to move the shifter from "D" to "P" position, or "P" to "R"; I have to stick a screw driver or key to the release hole to get the shifter move. Is that the shifter cable problem? or the neutral or park switch problem?
I recently used an impact gun on a 14mm nut on cx7 on the transmission control module would that damage anything internally?
Could this be related to my 2006 Mazda3 automatic not showing "D" on the dash when in Drive (instead it shows the gear number) and in manual mode it shows nothing?
Great video!! My mazda 6 2007 turns off when put on reverse will this work
hmm thats strange. Might not be that switch but maybe your security.
Nice one
Would this enable anti theft system
Would this be the issue for a 06 mazda3 that runs strong but can't get past 2nd gear?
Thank you. Verified this was the cause of a no crank no start prior to replacement by bypassing the sensor and verifying starting. When I latter went to replace the sensor I gave the local dealer a call and asked them if the fix is truly a replace or a clean and reinstall existing. He suggested that a cleaning was all that was needed. I did that. Upon reinstall and verifying that everything was shifting correctly, I was finding that things were not right. With the gear selection cable disconnected, I manually cycled through the gears by manually actuating the selector at the shaft. Dashboard within the car confirmed all the correct gears. However, when reconnecting the cable I could never get the dashboard to register park or neutral again... Neutral WAS registering prior to removal, park was hit or miss... Im not sure what to do now. Seems as though something is wrong the cable length... but why is this an issue all of a sudden? And why is park and neutral not working now, but neutral was prior to removal? Hmm... I believe I reinstalled sensor correctly. the sensor has little notches on the inside to make it a keyyed assembly with the gear selector. So I dont believe it is even possible to install it incorrectly because of this keying mechanism. Furthermore, with the sensor registering all gears on the dash when the cable is removed and manually changing gears at the shaft, Im starting to believe sensor is fine and that the cable has gotten shorter.
This problem has creeped up the last 3 winters in a row. Been fine during the summer. Starting to think more and more that the gear selector cable has shrunk a touch... Call me crazy. I plan to give Mazda a call and run it by them.
I have completed this replacement, but had not seen this video until now, because my car will not start at all now. There are a few things I did NOT do that your video included. 1) I did NOT disconnect the battery, 2) I did NOT use a 10mm wrench to hold the lever in place while removing the larger 21mm nut and 3) I did NOT move the lever into the Neutral position before slipping the new switch on. Now, when I try to start the vehicle, I get nothing in any position. Searching for answers. Thank you for this video. Wish I had seen it first.

I’m literally in the same position as you, any tips bro?
Will this work for 2008 mazda6 as well? Great video
+Unknowntitan This should be a very similar installation for this year vehicle as well.
@@1AAuto I got a 2004 M3 and the neutral switch always gets oily inside the connector thought the O ring .
Now the car won't move forward or reverse .
Probably that's the issue in my case?
Oil level is OK!
I'm having problems trying to put it in gears from parking
I put the brake and won't move down sometimes.
????????? Any Advice??? Thanks!
WFT is a MOZda?
I v removed the old neutral switch. The shifter linkage is short to connect in park..
I don't know what shortened it. Any help please
Yes
Battery terminal male/female brush would work nice cleaning inside selector cable thingy lol
Is the location the same on the 2007 Mazda 6 with a 3.0 V6?
+BadJr We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task.
Does anybody know if you can buy the metal lever for the neutral safety switch/ gear selector switch the one the cable attaches to? I plan on replacing the switch but mine is more crusty than this one so figure swap it out too

How do you adjust it?
There are actually two times the switch might need to be adjusted during a switch replacement: For preparing to install the switch, you first adjust it (out of the car) by rotating the switch until contacts B and C have 75 Ohms of resistance between them. Here's how you tell where the contacts are: If you hold the switch so that the red gasket faces your chest, with the connector up, Contact A is all the way to the right and contact F is all the way to the left. Using clip leads and an Ohm meter, or "Multimeter" connect the Ohm Meter to contacts B and C. Now with the switch still out of the car, measure the resistance. It needs to be about 750 Ohms which indicates it is in the Neutral position. So if you don't get that reading, you may have to rotate the switch (stick your finger nail in the hole and use the projecting key to rotate it) so you see 750 Ohms (mine read around 1000 Ohms) on the Ohm meter (the switch "clicks" and stops in various positions). When I bought my Dorman 511-105 replacement it wasn't shipped to me in the Neutral position. When you install the switch in your car, you want to make sure your Shift Lever is in Neutral. So before you even start removing anything, put your Shift Lever in Neutral with the car wheels securely blocked so it can't move. If you use this link (below my post), you might be able to download or view the Mazda 6 manual. The Range Switch (so they call it) is discussed in Section K starting on page K14. To adjust the switch once it's in the car is more difficult, because it's hard to see inside the connector. But to adjust it, with the mounting screws NOT Really that tight yet but threaded in enough to so the front of the heads touch the switch, you will need to again connect clip leads to terminals B and C and see if it is still about 750 Ohms. If you don't see that resistance, then you have to slightly rotate the switch on the mounting screws (while they are only "snug" or slightly tightened until you again see 750 Ohms with your shifter in Neutral. When you have it adjusted correctly then you can fully tighten the two mounting bolts to 91 - 97 Inch Pounds (NOT FOOT Pounds). BTW, the torque for the big nut on the input shaft of the transmission is 24 - 33 Foot Pounds. When you tighten or loosen that big bolt, make sure you hold the input lever with a wrench (like she shows you in this video) so it won't turn the input shaft inside the transmission.

+Russell Bennett Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Great videos 1A Auto! Just wondering why you needed to replace the Neutral Safety Switch? Seems that you just needed to clean and lube the cable/mechanism. Thanks

Help mee !. My car won’t go reverse but no problem with going forward . Any advice ?.
Even if i shift to (R) it’s act like neutral . But others are good .
+Priscilla Robert We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thanks I can now price this with the pain in the ass it is to get out of there.
Hi, I have a 2006 Mazda 6 sedan I want to install a cruise control on them, can you help me and thank you
Is this the same process I would have to do in my manual 05 mazda 6?
+Jon Shepherd The process will be similar if not the same. 1aauto.com
I have an 05 mazda 6 and the neutral safety switch is under the airbox
I just swapped out my old Neutral Start Switch for a new one and the problem of my car not always starting in Park did not go away. I know for sure that I have the switch adjusted correctly. After my attempted repair didn't work, I went on line and found a TH-cam post that shows a second cable that evidentially allows the car do detect it is in Park. It may be that there are two requirements to show on the dash that the vehicle is in park. We know about the Neutral Start Switch, but nobody said anything about the 2nd cable in the console. This post (see link) shows how an owner of a 2008 Mazda 6 remedied the same exact problem I have with my Mazda not starting in Park. He shows a cable adjustment in front of the shifter that seems to need a slight lengthening so the car knows it is in Park. Paste the following link in your browser, have a look, and let me now what you think:

+Michael D'Amico Thanks for watching! That could fix your issue if you are having the same symptoms, so it is worth a shot fixing.
Do you have a link the video?
Did anybody notice she never removed her gloves that's why when you take your car to a mechanic You always have to clean your car after because it's dirtier than when you brought it to them
Is the location the same on the 2007 Mazda 6 with a 3.0 V6?
You can pretty much bet it would be
