Neutral Safety Switch

[KY Chris]

This is a general question...
I have to replace the neutral safety switch in my 94 Volvo 850 Turbo. Volvo specs a special tool for aligning the switch so that it properly identifies the correct gear. Is this common on all autos? I have seen where people have bipassed this tool by measuring the resistance of the switch or checking if the back up lights come on while the tranny is in reverse. I really don't want to connect the battery during the process to check this. Are there any other tricks to making sure this thing is set right?

Save the hooker money and go here: http://autosoundgear.com/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=jpcsfmo0

Think that would help?

I'm banned from Nogales. Nasty incident a few years back with a 1 eyed hooker and donkey. I had to use julio ointment.

Wow, thanks for digging that up. I know how to replace it now. The part itself is actually the same price as the bypass. I'll just get it aligned by trial and error. I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thanks.

No prob. If it keeps giving you trouble, I have a brother who has a buddy that drag races Volvos. It's insane. He has a wagon that will do 13s or some crazy number like that. I can try to get ahold of him. Just let me know.
