- In this video I'll show you how to remove your NSS or Neutral Safety Switch. A while back I made a video on how to clean and repair your NSS but a few folks needed help finding it and getting it out... so here it is.

Thanks for showing how to remove the NSS along with it's location. Now I know what it will involve to fix my problem. Using both of your videos would give all the information needed one would need.
thanks for watching and subbing man!
Thanks for both videos. Cutting the tie-ties was an issue. I cut the bottom one first, then used a 6 inch hacksaw blade on the top one. Then I disconnected the connector and that allowed me to work the middle tie-tie low enough that I could cut it. Getting the NSS off was a lot easier than the one in your video. After cleaning and reassembling not only does the backup lights work again, the OverDrive does too.
Ha swift +1
I just fixed my NSS thanks to this video!!! Now my reverse lights are working and even engine looks like runs a bit smoother
Here's a tip I just discovered for those lower two hard-to-reach zip ties. They have a little lever in the zip tie the lets you unlock them. Get a 18" coat hanger wire and bend a little 180 degree hook on the end. Now hook this bend around the zip tie with one hand and get your other hand's finger up to the release lever on the zip tie. Keep working that release lever with your finger while you tug on the wire hook and they release pretty easily.
First of all, thank you for the video. It was instrumental in changing mine. I had some of the same problems except mine was done on the vehicle. Prying the nut stripped off the top threads as the nut is a stronger material. I thought I was screwed until I spotted a tool I had for decades, a battery post puller. It has thin jaws that let me tighten the nut to good threads and fit between the transmission and the body. I had to pull the red rubber end off the handle to let it clear but it pulled the switch off in seconds. Just thought I would pass that tip along. Cheers.
Thanks for your help man. Took me over an hour to remove it because I'm in the heart of the rust belt😒... Fixed it no problem though and now I won't get stranded 😉.
Had the #2 beater we bought not crank at least once. It's time to rip out and clean up the neutral safety switch. Thanks so much gents for your help with this issue. I don't wan't to get stuck out in the desert where tow trucks won't go !!!
Great video! Getting the NSS off can be a royal pain & is easily broken. Thanks for helping Jeeper's out with this video.
Kudos from Another Freakin' Jeep Cherokee Website!
I enjoy all the videos brother. It's come a long way since the first one I watched! Keep up the good work and great how to's
Thanks Matt! I just bought a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee and this helps.
Thanks. This one and the overhaul one helped my nss issues.
Big thanks to you and #NoNonsenseKnowHow for posting the NSS vids. I was able to do this fairly quickly, and everything worked the 1st time.
Thank you that helped a lot taking it off. Fixed my problem
Any ideas for if you broke the little fingers off of the cast arm part of the NSS, and then broke the arm part out of the plastic housing? I have been alternating wd-40, a propane torch and a chisel to try and loosen/cut off the remaining "donut" of material from the selector shaft. Not having much luck.
I had much less luck when I did mine. I ended up wedging shims behind to push it off, along with a lot of PB blaster. That said, I live in Chicago and tend to have corrosion issues with everything I attempt to work on. Thanks for another good video Matt! Be careful and resist the urge to pry against the back of the switch too hard which was plastic on mine...
+Kyle Harrison I'm in Chicago too and doing mine this weekend, going to start spraying it down now!
Great info as always Matt
what year was the Jeep and how far up before the elec disconnect - ie. from the top or underneath ? thx for all your Jeep tutorials !
U sounded like a Winnie when that light fell lmao
Thanks for posting this.
For some reason I can't remove mine I think it's glued on had problems getting my xj started so ended putting a washer and snugged it tight any way I can remove it with out breaking it
You should do a video on the current state of all the jeeps and the specifics as far as you know for each jeep because I've been out of it and I'm suddenly lost :(
Time to watch all my videos!
think I mentioned in other video that this was the 1st Job I ever did when I got my 96 Cherokee about 9 yrs ago... I was underneath in a 1/2 lit garage and it went easier than this... had it been this hard to get off, I would have went bananas and gave up (or broke something)
Manual transmissions do have one located underneath the clutch, I’m still looking for a video on how to change it tho 😅
Thanks for both videos- two questions please: can the unit be repaired while still in vehicle? And, I have wired a switch to activate starter due to NSS problem. Is there any harm in that? I'm
Worried long term if I cannot fix NSS right away- thanks
Hey guys... just watched this (and many other vids from you guys too) and have a question about where the Jeep TJ 2.4 auto NSS may be located. And whether it can be 'easily' gotten to from below the vehicle without needing to drop anything else away from the Jeep? Thoughts? Where is it??
Hi thanks for both videos very cool will save me a bunch of money...Do you have a cherokee jeep sport? I Have a 1997 4 door 6 cylinder if cleaning the NSS does not work i will have to get a new switch so do you know the manufacture number for the NSS so that i can purchase the right one i don't want to take it off without knowing the right part to get just in case.
It is indeed much harder to do with the engine in its place :)
I'm not mechanic but I can pass on the info.hope my guy can do this.if I get my truck started
This one us easier than the one from the nissans
Thank you!!
Matt, I am needing to change out the NSS on my '97 Grand Cherokee
straight 6. The part number is SW11030. It looks like the bottom part of
a light bulb with a 3 prong connector. It screws in just over the oil
pan. Any tips or vids on this one? I can't even get the freakin' wire
plug off and I don't want to break anything. Not that anything like that
has ever happened to me before. Any help would be great!
Ooops...I think I put this in 2 places, See I need help!
96 jeep Cherokee sport 4.0 2 wheel drive put a new ignition switch when I connect the ground to battery it start cranking on the off position what do I check next
I had to heat up the tip of a long blade with my torch and reach in and melt that zip tie off. It is ridiculous.
That's actually a really good idea!
I just found out the screwdriver method may not be the best idea. I pried a little. Seemed dry, so I hit it with pb blaster. Started prying on it came out a little bit. Then snapped the threaded section off. 😞
Stanley Potter same fucking thing just happened to me, how did you end up popping it off?
I ended up having to replace mine. It was so bad I could not get it of without breaking it apart, but the truck is 20 years old anyhow. My question though, is why does the nut in the shaft only need to be finger tight?
michael brown Because the shaft rotates. If torqued too tight, it might damage the sensor.
Is this switch in the same place on a 86 2 door cherokee with a 2.8l automatic transmission?
Those were some big nutz haha!
Is it necessary to disconnect the battery before trying to remove this? Or does it not matter?
Its always a good idea to disconnect battery when working on anything electrical
MATT YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS
Whoa!! @3:46 😭
how far up does the harness run? prob behind the motor where i cant get to it? looking to do this when it warms up
It goes up right next to the Transmission dipstick.
I have this 02 jeep grand Cherokee, and I have a problem with it. When ever I'm driving it down the road it will just shut off on me. I don't know what to try to fix next. I have tried the computer twice, and the crankshaft sensor, and camshaft it is putting out a security code but I'm having it reset this week what else should I try if that doesn't work?
You might check the wires leading into the coil pack at the back of the engine to make sure they aren't broken or exposed. I had a simular problem with my 01 XJ and it was throwing a code for cam and crank position sensors. I ended up buying a new ignition coil connector from autozone and it solved the issue.
Joe Isaacs good tip
How do I get to the nss if my engine is still in the jeep? :D Can I go under the car or do I need to rip out the hole interior of the car..
crawl under vehicle, look up
Does it have to be in a certain gear to remove I have a 98 and loosened all the bolts I soaked it in pb blaster and still can't get it to slide off that shaft any tips ?
+antsharp123 Neutral is preferred so I hear but no i dont think it matters. Its probably just muddy or rusty up in there.
Ok thanks Matt love ur vids btw keep em comin+BleepinJeep
I Broke the bolt on my NSS :(
i remove the nns , but it still has a peice of the old part on the shaft so i cant get the new part to set correctly , HELP , anybody who can give me advice on how to remove the bit part still on the shaft.
vee-hick-ol
lol
I think you could just use your hand once it's that lose.
Is this for a zj grand cherokee??
Automatic, yes
Stripped that big nut off!...cant tighten it back on to use it to pry against. It just flies off... Now what?
Car parts.com has the nss switch for $40
Got major issues, initially I was adding additional reverse lights to my rear bumper on my 96 XJ. I'm splicing into my green/brown wire at the reverse bulb and using the relay that came with the lights but for some odd reason the reverse lights no longer illuminate. And yes the bulbs are good, I've checked them twice! The brakes and hazards work fine, I thought it might be the old NSS so I bought a new one and installed it but now the new NSS only allows me to start in park, not starting in neutral. What did I miss? I'm at tedtug58@yahoo.com, I would appreciate the help!
adjust the NSS, I have a video on it, the nss cleaning video
eastcoastteddy 58 probably need to adjust the bolt I believe
