Default Neutral Safety Switch

Hi,

I think the neutral safety switch went out as the car will not turn over. The car did it yesterday and I put the car in drive and back in park and it started but now it will not when I try the same thing.

I had a Camaro that did this and I bypassed the switch. Can I do this on the Vette or how do I fix it?

Thanks

First, you have to identify what the issue is. The schematic is posted in this link:

Thanks for the help... I think the problem is the key or key switch and I do not have a spare key. Yet.

I cleaned the key VAT pellet as suggested and the car started 4-5 times before not starting again. Cleaned key and started again. Checked codes as was getting 2253 and 2723.

Found the blank key on e-bay ( Thanks to a member here ) and ordered 2 keys. Hope this works or I will replace the switch next.

Thanks
