Park/Neutral Position Switch: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra and 2002 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Shift the transmission into Neutral.
- Raise the vehicle.
- Remove the nut securing the transmission control lever to the manual shaft.
- Remove the transmission control lever from the manual shaft.
- Disconnect the wiring harness connector at the wiring harness.
- Remove 2 bolts securing the PNP switch to the transmission.
- Remove the PNP switch from the manual shaft.
- If the PNP switch did not slide off the manual shaft, file the outer edge of the manual shaft to remove any burrs.
NOTE:
Because of the PNP switch lead connector breaking when disconnected, disconnect the harness connector at a point near the vehicle harness, not at the park/neutral position switch lead.
