Neutral Safety Switch gauge wiring for temporary bypass? (1 Viewer)

[cjgoode]

I am looking to bypass the neutral safety switch because it will not start while hot. My son is a first responder and I am older with pre existing conditions putting me at risk of the virus. So I am trying to help him till I can get my hands on the truck and fix it right. I want to have him bypass the switch in hopes it will always start when hot. No issues when cold, has a new starter. I found this below picture on here and want to do something similar but need to know the gauge of those two black wires I need to join together. I know this is not the optimal solution, but I cannot have him stranded half the time he goes somewhere.

Anyone familiar with the NSS wiring, would there be room to use something like this, make it real temporary.

What year 80 series does he have? I don’t think the NSS would cause this problem.

Its a 1996. I have found many posts here and elsewhere of people having the exact same problem, no crank when hot. Seems corrosion on these two black wires is an issue, as well as the switch itself. Having him bypass this to see if it resolves the issue seems like the best choice at this time. Eventually he can come over and we can tear into it more if it is the NSS. For now I need to get it reliable for him.

Ok the 3fe has an EFI relay that goes bad and causes the same problem. I’ve run into every problem with the NSS on my 93 but this one.

Would the EFI cause a no crank issue. If so I will have him get one.

I would check the NSS connectors where it plugs in to the engine harness. It should be right above the starter they can get corroded or broken. Below is the ignition wiring diagram that might help.

So just looping it to the opposite color and this eliminates the need for the neutral switch ??? and this works in a 1994 too

All I know is that it worked for my 93.
