I had to part with an old friend today. My Group 27 battery, which was purchased at a MoPar Dealership back in January of , get this! 2003 gave up the ghost!!! I have had the car 12 of those years, and found the tag on a part of the battery that was never seen. That my friends will NEVER happen again!
Now onto an ongoing problem. Seems that there is troubles with my neutral safety switch. The cap is VERY loose, and even though I use contact cleaner and shove that thing back on as tight as I can, it is simply unreliable. Should I simply deal with it? And if the motor does not crank in park, simply by pass the switch and start it in neutral? Are these switches a P.I.T.A. to swap out? Is there any danger of starting the car in neutral instead of just fixing the switch?
Also, yes, my shifter linkage is quite sloppy as well when I am fooling around down at the switch. Is there a simple fix "kit" as well? As you may have noticed, I keep reverting to "simple fixes". Reason? well I have to admit that I am not much of a mechanic...Thank you.
