How to replace Neutral Safety Switch on Chevrolet Metro?

Remove the shift lever-to-carrier bolt and nut, but do not drop the shift lever or allow it to hang by the TELEFUNKEN cable; leave the negative cable disconnected from the battery until the transmission control module (TCM) system has been checked and repaired or reprogrammed if necessary. Take off the nut and then raise out the shift lever with the need to disconnect the electrical connector. Third, the bolt must be unscrewed so as to connect to the shift shaft the switch is not needed anymore. Before installing the switch, ensure the switch slot has a screwdriver inserted and turned clockwise until you hear a click this shows that it is on the Neutral position. Slide the switch on the shaft till it is locked in place and tighten the bolt to lock it in position firmly. Last of all, connect the negative-cabled and check that the engine starts only in Neutral or Park.

Chevrolet Metro Neutral Safety Switch

Chevrolet Metro Neutral Safety Switch is an electrical safety device that allows the starter circuit to engage only when the transmission selector is in neutral or park. Engine cranking in any other gears is blocked. The switch, which prevents starting a vehicle in gear, operates by having contacts that are connected when the lever is shifted into park or neutral. When the lever is positioned in drive or reverse, the contacts remain open and current cannot reach the starter motor. This straightforward logic prevents the vehicle from moving unexpectedly at startup, providing further protection against error. The Neutral Safety Switch is open or closed according to a binary mechanism and does not affect transmission operation of a car but merely indicates this status to the ignition circuit. Chevrolet confirmed this as a standard feature on all Metro models with the same Neutral Safety Switch function whether the vehicle is started on level pavement or an incline. The Neutral Safety Switch works automatically to ensure that the driver in the cabin of a Chevrolet Metro does not have to do further steps. When the driver turns the key, the Neutral Safety Switch is relied on for routine starting as a Chevrolet Metro safety feature.

Each OEM Chevrolet Metro Neutral Safety Switch we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
