this doesnt match the diagram the other guy posted above... you're showing pin B and E jumped, when it should be pin B and C.

haha its cool, was just pointing it out. not sure which one is the best (neither is best to bypass since its a safety feature, but you know what i mean) but it seems like the B and C makes the most sense. if those are always jumped, itll just think its always in P or N when being started. the other way might cause issues with shifting as a few stated. i still will try to take my NSS off and clean it first though, but for now i just need to get it started lol

The NSS is easy to get off after you pry up the lock washer tabs.
What you do is remove the top bolt. Then remove the bottom nut holding the NSS on. Take the nut thread it back onto the switch and turn it only 2-3 turns. Use the nut as a pry point with your pry bar. You want pry the nut away from the tranny. The leverage point to use on your pry bar is where your tranny pan and tranny meet. 2-3 pulls of the bar and your switch will come off. It took me 3 hrs before I figured it out. The nut only affects the switch when its all the way in. When you thread it on for 2-3 nut rotations your prying parallel to because the threads are attached to the switch body. Trust me it works.

I cut the wires after they come out of the plug. I didn't cut it down by the NSS. Heres a pic. **Disclaimer!!!** This isnt the actual way to fix the NSS. By doing this, it is allowing a vehicle to start in any gear and I assume no responsibility if anyone follows these instruction and has an accident!!***disclaimer*** The B and C are the two black wires I have taped together. I'm actually switching it out this weekend to a connector that won't corrode. The wires are cut on the NSS side, not the actual vehicle harness.

Probably is related. Most every cruise control I know of is tied into a couple of sensors, such as the brake switch and probably the neutral safety switch. That way if one of them is tripped it automatically disengages the cruise control. It's intended as a safety feature to help prevent runaway situations or accidents.... of course these are Jeeps we're talking about here.....
