Bypass Jeep NSS (Neutral Safety Switch) 

on this episode of WAAAAHHHHHH!! WAHHHHHH!! WAHHHHHH!!!!!!

Yup... its gonna corrode!! Somebody's always used 4x4 in jeeps Still love em though awesome vid jeep nation

Eric. I feel your pain. Good vid man very helpful.

With an automatic transmission I guess they're not quite as necessary, but with a manual transmission...I've got a funny story about bypassing a neutral safety switch and a clutch switch. A friend of mine had a 99 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with the 5 speed manual. He installed a remote start system, and as he's always done in every vehicle he bypassed the neutral safety switch and the clutch switch. Their daughter at the time loved playing with keys, she managed to get the key fob pressed correctly and not knowing it at the time started the truck. So after Thanksgiving dinner they walked out the door to find their truck sitting on top of his father in law's car....ooops...needless to say the safety switches got hooked back up after that one LOL.

Thanks for the tip! Love the channel and the content. Keep the repair tips coming.

the 42re trans you mentioned sucks too. i had a 94 zj with a 4.0 and 42re trans, i recommend if you have one with over 200000 miles on it you just replace it with a rebuilt. i replaced gov pressure sensor and solenoid and the overdrive spring, though i had the problems licked and i think the fluid pump or the torque converter took a dump so i sold that thing for parts, i love jeeps for their 4x4 capability,but they do have issues

As a ZJ owner who's ZJ hates starting, often, i really appreciate this video! Thanks!

I had same issue 😕 I tried leaving it on neutral and chucking tires 🙃 and was alot easier 🤙

I tried to get mine off the other day and I spent 4 hours trying and the only thing that I accomplished was getting 4 stitches in my knuckle and knocking a big rust hole in my trans cooler line

wait so are d and e brothers cause this guys sounds like the other guy! somehow i only have had problems that the other guy told me how to fix until now lmao

"It's supposed to have a protrusion here so you can screw it on." Come on Eric...are you going to make it easy too?

NSS is probably the biggest pain in the ass ever! Fixing one is a hoax, a myth, a complete impossibility on jeeps with rust! And WHEN we break em off... They're still $150. I can't stand how important they are... Too bad they can't (shouldn't) be permanently deleted! Hang in there Barney... You'll be ok.

The hardest zip tie is the one closest to the transmission that is up in the transmission tunnel it's damn near impossible to cut but it's actually one you can take Loose by hand and is reusable

@D&E In The Garage. Eric, I was one video I was looking for since most bypass are for manual transmissions. Hey, if the Zip-Ties are oem, they're reusable & have a tab at the ''Feed Through End'' that you push on it, which allows the tie to release. I forgot about that & cut 2 of the 3 ties before I remembered. I changed my NSS yesterday, here's why. - (Michigan, Sunny, 71 degrees, November 9th) I decided not to wait because I've been down that road before & besides, my garage is packed, lol. At any rate, Is there a way to bypass like you did & leave the rest of the wires running to the NSS while it's still on the transmission, or do you have to cut all the wires off.... If you're not sure, I'll keep looking. One other thing I was wondering about, if it was possible to see where the Black w/Yellow stripe & the Black wire is, inside the plug end, could you jump it at the plug with a paperclip, (sorta like you do with the ''Low Pressure Switch'' on the A/C system), then plug the NSS cable back into it? Just wondering since I'm not sure it's safe to do without causing an electrical issue, or causing the engine to shut back off... Also, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to remove the original NSS, so I did make sure to purchased a new one ahead of time. I was able to get the old one off without breaking the plastic backing. Once I installed the new one, plugged it in & tested it, I took the old one apart, cleaned it up & just before I assembled it, I made sure that the ''Vent Tube'' was clear. The breather end is tucked into the loom, along side the wiring. I also have a 93 XJ Country. Love that Jeep, it's so simple without all the stupid electronics that can go bad, like on my 2010 Patriot that I'm gonna sell...... Thanks for posting your video. It's so cool to learn some tricks now & then......

Lol I think your little stick guys a little to happy

If you pull the console it is easy to get to.

The coolant leak just added fuel to the fire...lol....

Good Job Eric👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼thanks

dudes. can you do a video on changing the harmonic balancer on a 4.0 ZJ? Much appreciated!

does the check engine light go on

Hey man would this be the same spot on a 2009 jeep patriot?

How important is putting dielectric grease

Is this the same as my 1990 Cherokee?

Does this work for a 93 Jeep ZJ ?

Just be careful dont start in drive or reverse because the entire vehicle will move as soon as engine turns

ERIC!

Great little hack to get you going again. Is it spring yet.

Did you do this on the male end or female end of that connector?

He doesn't say which two wires he's connecting together

Will it case you jeep to not go in reverse

Darned engineers!! Lol

Had to cut mine off

little shaft. LOL

Dude, just buy a new NSS!

Kook

😳
