The neutral safety switch is a device which blocks starting the vehicle while it is in gear. This avoids the possibility of the vehicle lurching forward or back the moment it is started. It can be located near the transmission and is readily accessible.

The neutral safety switch prevents an automatic car from starting unless the shifter is in park or neutral. It is located under the steering column and is electrically connected to the ignition switch.

The neutral safety switch is a switch located in the transmission that keeps a vehicle from being started while the car is in any gear but neutral or park. Look around the shift linkage or on the transmission housing.
