Will someone identify a part for me please. It's not mounted anymore but is plugged into the wiring harness. I could probably figure it out but this is the easy way,

 

is that a nss?

 

Looks like it too me, its suppose to be mounted on the side of your transmission. Is that where you found it, up in the engine bay?

 

That's def a neutral safety switch and a broken one by the look of it.

 

ha is that jb weld? and do your reverse lights work?

 

Wow I would like to know who and why somebody would put a NSS there?

 

Thanks guys. It was an automatic the was converted to standard before I bought it.
I suppose it should be mounted on the transmission somewhere.
At the risk of sounding stupid.
Where?

 

i believe its different from auto to stick, probably the same plug different sensor

 

Maybe it was left connected so the computer wouldn't through codes?
And nope no backup lights.

 

I would like to say wow to the OP. The PO definitely left you with a fun bag of presents, almost like santa except not cool like. I would say look at a haynes or chiltons manual about the nss for manuals. I don't have a stick but I know it throws codes like crazy if it gets muddy as I cleaned mine off about 6 months ago. Start by checking the manual, then hopefully someone with a stick will chime in.

Good luck, Im following this one.

 

Thats a Nss for the auto transmission.
They left it hooked up so you dont get codes and the jeep will start.

 

I may just tuck in out of the way and hope it don't come back to bite me.

 

I wouldnt worry about it, Its one of the things that happens when you change a vehicle to something it was never supposed to be...
