neutral safe switch wired around - Ralph L. Fullenwider - 04-25-2010 09:38
Hello everyone:
A short time ago, I was working on some wiring under the dash of Ruff
Diamond and to put the side railing back on to hold the lower dash down, I
moved the shifter out of Neutral to 1st gear (Coach not running) and when
done I reached to start the Coach, having forgotten to shift back to
Neutral, and the Coach started! Hello, wake up call, and found the Coach
would start in any shifter position and even the AT switch was not working.
The following is what I found and did to return the safeties to working order.
Ok, here is how it is supposed to work;
Power comes from the ignition switch (RED) wire, to the AT switch to the
neutral safety switch to the start solenoid. Ruff Diamond is now wired in
this manner that complies with the schematic.
Below is how Ruff Diamond was wire by some person previous to Charolette
and I buying her.
Their wiring. Both wires from the neutral safety switch (one from the AT
switch and the other to the start solenoid) were cut and removed. A new
wire was run from the ignition switch straight to the start solenoid, by
passing the AT switch and neutral safety, so the Coach could be started in
any gear.
The PT's are wired much the same except the safeties go to the rear start
switch as well before going to the start solenoid.
Safe travels,
Ralph and Charolette Fullenwider
