Hey everyone new to this forum and would like some assistance . thanks in advance.so I got an 02 7.3 with 201k and it will not start with the key I can use the wire to jump it and ran fine so I I came to the conclusion it was the neutral safety swith so I replaced it and still no start and now when I'm driving it it's acting like it's jumping into neutral then going down a gear.and this was not an issue before I changed the switch.

 

Welcome to the ford site..!

The switch has to be indexed correctly. take it off and do it again..before you burn something up..What wire where?

 

What do you mean by indexed? I believe I have everything on it lined up properly.the wire on the passenger side that unclips.if you run a wire from that to positive terminal truck will start.thanks for the reply.

 

Double check that you have the correct prndl switch. Neutral has to be Neutral is 3 places. lever on column. tranny and prndl switch.

 

Replaced the safety switch again and it cured the crazy shifting but still not the no start. Any ideas

 

Key switch,, connector etc.. put the lever through and the gears see if it turns,,
