As long as you have the column shifter it is mounted on the column underneath the dash, I believe it is the same switch as the neutral safety switch. On my 76 my backup lights kept staying on so for a temporary fix I cut all the wires on that switch and spliced them appropriately, and afterwards it started in all gears

On my 78 C6 it's on the trans with the shifter and kickdown linkage. I know earlier models were on the column, but since you have a 79 column it's hard telling. If you look on the driver's side of the trans and see a half circle shape piece of plastic behind the linkage with 4 wires going up to the firewall, that's it. If it's not there I would guess it's on the column. I just replaced mine and it was about $75 for a new one.

This is now your second thread on the topic.
I answered your first thread on page yesterday.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...ht-switch.html
It was only on page 2
If you have the 79 column the NSS would be on the transmission.
On The PRE-78 trucks the NSS was on the column,
since you have a 79 column and a 77 truck. unless the person who put that column in that truck installed the NSS on the Special C6 trans....
you don't have an NSS.
Please don't REPOST topics in new threads.
It is redundant and confusing to people.
Just go find the original and post the updated info to it .
