P0455: Large evap leak (start by swapping your gas cap with a new Mopar cap)

P0705: Usually related to your neutral safety switch. Oftentimes, refurbishing it will restore full function and knock out that code. Try this procedure.

I found those switches at very different prices. On ebay there's one for $45 nd another for over $200. Is there something in particular that I should look for. I will be going to a mechanic so I figured I'd have them replace it rather than refurbish it.

You would be better off refurbishing a MOPAR NSS than spending $45 on a piece of crap ebay NSS. There is a big difference in quality and reliability.
New MOPAR neutral safety switches are expensive; therefore it is usually worth trying to refurbish the original NSS.

SEARCH and you'll see that P0705 is most often caused by the NSS. That's why I recommend refurbishing the NSS as the first course of action.

Ok hopefully mechanic doesn't charge much for that kind of work. I will buy a gas cap tomorrow nd restart the battery. If both codes come up still i will have mechanic find the damaged hose replace it nd refurbish the nss all at once. Thanks for the help.
