#101 of 693 3 pin to a 5 pin neutral switch by tkavanaugh Feb 09, 2007 (9:02 pm)
just did a eng/trans swap on a 2000 (3 pin)with a 2002 (5 pin) on the neutral switch. Now I get a check eng lite and some crazy shifting patterns and can now start it in any gear. Is there a pigtail that will adapt my wiring harness 3 Pin connector to the 5 pin switch?

#104 of 693 neutral safety switch by tkavanaugh Feb 11, 2007 (7:25 pm)
Does anyone have any ideas on the difference between a 2000 dakota automatic transmission neutral switch and a 2002 switch. The 2000 has a 3 pin connector and the 2002 has a 5 pin switch. I know that the 3 pin was only a neutral safety switch, but the 5 pin has a few more features, any ideas on how to adapt my 3 pin switch plug wiring harness to the 5 pin switch so this will work the way it is suppose to ?

Replying to: tkavanaugh (Feb 11, 2007 7:25 pm) Can't tell you anything about a 2000, but the pin outs for the 2003 Transmission Range Sensoris as follows:   Pin 1 = Reverse Lamp circuit Pin 2 = Instrument Panel Transmission Range Display Pin 3 = no connection Pin 4 = no connection Pin 5 = Transmission Range Sensor 5vdc supply Pin 6 = Park/Neutral starting circuit and PCM input   Regards, Dusty

Replying to: 93dakota (Mar 01, 2007 10:49 am) I replaced the tps and it solved my shifting problems. The other problem I had was that the truck wouldn't move when I inititially put the truck into drive after a cold start. I disconnected the battery cable for 10 minutes or so and it seemed to cure that issue. Apparently there's a software bug in the tranmission controller and this is a common problem. I also replaced the two filters in the transmission and replaced the fluid with Chrysler spec fluid. I'm not sure if Your 93 Dak has the same transmission and Your problem may be being caused by something else. Since I changed the tps and spark plugs fuel economy has been pretty good. Before doing any of that I could drive 3 miles to work and watch my fuel guage dropping dramatically. It was horrible on gas and I was sorry that I had bought the truck just when fuel prices where sky rocketing.   Hope this helps   My Dak is a 2000 Dakota Sport 4X4, 4.7 v8 w/ 4 speed automatic Replies to this message: 93dakota (Mar 01, 2007 11:45 am)
