I had a similar problem once. Turned out to be a connector) underneath
near the tranny had come apart. I think it was the nuetral switch
connector. Can someone confirm that name? Good Luck!

Get out the old cheap copy of Haynes and look in the wiring diagram section,
it has a really good schematic of the switch wires.

Look on the rear passenger side of the fire wall, right around the tranny
dip stick, you should have one maybe two harnesses running down towards the
underside, one of these harnesses will have 5-6 wires and a rectangular
connector. If you have the Haynes or any other schematic of the system (or
a valid email, will send) you can match up the colour code.


If you want to temporarily bypass the switch for addition trouble shooting
and short term use of vehicle (i.e. to use the Jeep to run and buy beer for
the rest of the fix) I would suggest doing all bypassing on the switch side
of the before mentioned connector, as a new switch (or replacement from a
wrecker) will have the harness.


At about $350 cdn ($300 usd) I don't think you really want to buy one from
the stealership, so read this and have fun.
