By taking it off and testing it for resistance with a digital multimeter.
All the neutral safety switch does is ensure the vehicle will not crank with the key in any other gear position than neutral or park. If you need to start the vehicle before figuring this out, ensure the vehicle is in park (you should also put the parking brake on). Turn your wheels all the way to the left, and put your key in the ON/ACC position. Look under the hood, and you should see where the starter is (in front of the flywheel, typically on the right side of the vehicle). You'll see some posts coming out of the starter with wires attached to them. Use a cable - such as a starter cable or test lead - to apply power to the small post. Be careful to ensure that the cable, your clothing, or any of your body parts are clear of all moving objects before doing this. You can start the vehicle this way, and it will run so long as the key remains in the on position.

∙ 18y agoA misaligned or defective neutral safety switch will cause you to have to wiggle the gear selector in order to get the engine to start. You may even have to put it in Neutral. The switch is there to prevent the engine from starting while in gear. It should only start in Park or Neutral.

How do you fix paper shredder from constantly running?
There is probably a small piece of paper jamming the switch inside the slot. The switch is triggered as you push the paper in, it is very sensitive and light and can be easily jammed in the run position. Be careful and make sure it is unplugged before putting you fingers near it. Try using a small piece of paper and sliding it sideways in the slot to clear any debris. If all else fails you may have to take the machine head apart to clear shreds of paper from the cutters and sensor switch.

What is the crank fuse for in the 1994 Chevrolet Camero Z28 and what should I check for if it blows?
There is no such thing as a crank fuse. A starting circuit consists of the battery, ignition switch, neutral safety switch or clutch switch, the solenoid and the starter.First check to see if the cable ends at the battery are clean and most of all tight. Turn the key to start while shifting from park to neutral. If it tries to turn over then the neutral safety switch is bad. If all fails then take it to a repair shop.
