Re: IML: 90 imperial no start issue AGAIN!!

I don't have a '90 Imperial, but I have found many newer cars have the neutral safety switch mounted under the dash on the steering column. Check the shop manual before going under the car.

I'm not too familiar with the FWD cars but I would suspect the neutral safety switch is on the front side of the transmission near where the shift linkage enters the case. I'm sure there are others on this list who are intimately familiar with the switch location, and how to test it.  I'd look hard at this switch and the ignition switch in the steering column. Also, did you check the wire connection (smaller wire) at the starter?

Hi peter, yes I actually replaced the starter relay with a new one. and Mark, where is the neutral safety switch ? and how is it checked? I did shift to "neutral" and attempt a start,and I got the same no start, or I should say no crank  situation.. I also tried adjusting the steering wheel to multiple positions, and nada.

Matt: have you checked the starter relay in the relay and fuse box on the drivers side near the shock tower? My 93 5th Ave was doing the same thing 
your car is doing and it was the starter relay.

Thanks Alan, That gives me an idea of another place to check. I have 
the

service
manual, so I can look it up. but thanks for the offer.
I thought it might not be the electrical part of the switch, only 
because

it
worked after I glued the original lock cylinder piece ( 
re-installing it

into
the original switch) but you may be right, it pretty much is the 
only

thing I
haven't replaced at this point.. I just hate to pay for it if I 
don't

need it ..
only available at the dealer, and about 97.00 with tax for the 
switch, I

just
paid over 100.00 for the cylinder and re-key.. but we gotta do what 
we

gotta
do...

I can dig out my FSM and look up the pin out for the switch, this

tell you
what two wires in the switch engage the starter if this would help? 
It

will
take me a few day to find the FSM but some others may have the 
manual at

hand,
and can give info faster.
