I am removing and cleaning the NSS tomorrow bc i have a CEL for P0700 (Trans control systme malfunction) and P0705 (Trans Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction)

Who ever has done this, Please give some advice. Because i dont want to have to buy a new one at 350 bucks

I am going off this website. http://www.boyandjeep.com/tech-articles/aw4-neutral-start-switch-rebuild

Any additional ifo would be great, Thanks

 

That looks like the link I was planning on following. I dont have any CELs, but I do need to adjust the little bugger. Sometimes the only way I can start it is by turning the key and moving the shifter to the sweet spot between P and R.

Mine looks like crap, so I hit up the necessary bolts yesterday with PB Blaster. I really dont want to have to open the wallet to replace a 250 dollar sensor.

 

Well i got bored and started on it and got the bolt and nut off with no problem at all but now the actual NSS will not come off. It moves back and forth about a 1/4" but will not budge off the shift shaft. Any advice on that and it is more of a tight spot than i thought. I have to drive this thing to work on Tuesday. Thanks

 

Just be careful and don't pry to hard. One site I read said to pry on the nut....don't do this!!!!!. Just take your time getting the switch to slide off the shaft.

 

well if that dont work for ya i am selling a brand new one $100 plus shipping goes for like $250 at autozone

 

I dont have a camera on me to explain but after i take the nut, tab washer and thin rubber piece. Does anything else on that shaft suppose to come off?

 

Nope. Just remove the 10mm bolt as well and kinda wiggle it back and forth while pulling on it. I used a small pry bar and tried to be gentle and broke all kinds of ****.

 

Broke what? The NSS.

That's is my main worry. I don't know how tough or easy to be with it

 

Spray some PB Plaster on the shaft and work it back and forth.


Damn that sounds wrong.......

 

LOL! It did. I like my Chero but not THAT much. BTW, tomorrow, going after the NSS too.

 

Yeah I broke 2 ears off the threaded shaft and cracked the case around the shaft prying on it. I did a good job of messing things up. Funny thing is that spending money on a new one was out of the question so I put rtv on the part of the case that cracked and reinstalled it. I think I got one thread on the nut and locked it down wig the locking tab. So far its been working great. I just hope it stays like that.

 

ok... i found NSS switches on ebay for waaay less...

I did this to mine!
Bought Electrical Cleaner and White Lithium Grease..
Only took about 5-10 minutes and its been working perfectly for about a year now.
Looked into buying a new one and it was near $300...
definitely better to fork over the 8 bucks for cleaner and grease

Good luck man

 

Thanks for that advice, I sprayed it before i went to bed last night and got it off first thing in the morning. I normally us PB on all tough bolts and didnt even think to use it on that.

Now i have cleaned and reinstalled the NSS and now my reverse light work all the time. But the CE light will not stop coming on. I think i have a short in the wire some where. I am going to start a new thread about me CEL codes because this may not be related to the NSS anymore.

Thank yall for all the help

 

Warthog, thank you for that link!!!!!!!!! NSS rebuilt and we have reverse lights!
