Brian the "409man",
Thanks for your post about bypassing the NSS. After symptoms described by many others, I decided to dive into this simple circuit addition. 60 minutes later she's done. Then I had to wait for the switch to fail again, but when it did, hey hey...that little red button fired it right up.
Thanks for you're post.
Mike

Has anyone had any issues with their Jeep after the bypass? I have a 1997 Jeep Cherokee and my family's shop did a neutral safety switch bypass. It's been a few months and sometimes the car wont start. We have to take off the battery terminals and reconnect them. It will start ok for a few weeks then go dead again. Now it wont stay running after we reconnect the cables. My boyfriend said it is the bypass. I am considering just buying a replacement switch to forgo the headache. They are so expensive though. Just wondering if anyone had any similar issues.

I have a suggestion on how to build up the metal contacts for the safety switch. Has anyone tried to apply rear window defroster grid repair liquid to the metal contacts. This would build them up, put a coat on, let dry, put another coat on, then let dry. I've used this trick on other electronics, it should help with the safety switch contacts. I will probably try this on my 99 Cherokee this weekend.

Maybe you can expand on the '99's problem in here and that way we won't duplicate discussions. Thanks!

HI i have a 94 cherokee, and it starts randomly, and sometimes it runs over, and other times nothing. I tried the neutral safety bypass, and that gets it to crank over, but i am not getting signal going to the crank sensor. So i am kinda lost now, is there any other thing that might be causing it to not start.
Also when it does randomly turn over, and not start, i am not getting spark,
Any help from here would be really appretiated. Thank You
