I have a 1991 Ford Ranger 4x4 with a 5 speed and I would like to locate the neutral safety switch.

Symptoms are when you push the clutch and turn on key nothing happens.
I jump the solenoid on the firewell and the truck will start.I thought the solenoid was the problem and purchased a new one but nothing changed when I installed this. This is why I feel the neutral safety switch may be faulty.

Any ideas or can someone tell me exactly where the switch is located so I can jump this out and check it.

 

Sounds like a bad "clutch interlock switch" which completes the start circuit when you step on the clutch.

Pull the connector off, jump it with a paper clip & see if it starts

Where is the clutch interrlock switch at?

 

Mounted on the clutch lever under the dash.

 

On my truck this is a triple function switch which has 5 wires. Which of the 5 do i jump

 

Good question. I dont have a wiring diagram for a 91. You should be able to find an online wiring diagram at autozone.com or your Haynes manual should show it.

 

I purchased a new switch today and all is fine

 

Good deal, glad to hear it's fixed.

 

The dealer quotes me $70 for a new switch!!! ?? is that what you ended up paying?
