If it IS the NSS you can bypass it by simply cutting and looping the 2 black wires together to get going. All the switch does is complete the ground circuit for the starter motor. If you do this you will lose you backup lights until you fix it correctly but at least you`ll be able to get it started and drive. This is assuming it is the NSS.

 

I already said that, post 13... my method is even easier, no crawling under the Jeep lol..

 

Ah sorry missed that in my haste to help out as the NSS caused me a lot of trouble one time and left me stranded in a bad place due to my lack of knowing this bypass. But you can cut and loop the 2 black wires together without going under the vehicle as the plug for the NSS goes all the way up into the engine compartment and is right there next to the firewall on the right side.

 

I dont really want to do the bypass. My jeep deserves better than that. =P If i cant get it out then ill give it a shot.

 

Well said.. fix the thing.

 

I agree with that..But if the thing goes out 100 miles from home it's a good thing to know how to do.

 

True that no one wants to be stranded, and it is good to know in case of an emergency.

 

I got the bolt out. Was strugglign with the lock pins on the washer. One was on the side and theres another two that are up top that i could not see so it was becoming difficult....was getting chewed up by mosquitos and then a storm hit so i had to call it a night. *sighs* I wanted to try the bypass just to see if it was indeed the problem im having and because im emberassed to be driving a chevy cavalier to work every day. But looking at the plug i could not find 2 black wires. Closest thing was one solid black wire and one white wire with a black stripe on it.

 

Gently prying did not work... the damn thing WONT budge...the damn nut shot off and i think the rod might be bent now. I cant get the NSS to move AT ALL. God i wish there was someone to help me...
