Van Tilt Neutral Safety Switch Part Number?
Hey everyone, I recently purchased a tilt column from Dave who said this was from an early 80s motorhome. I've taken it apart, cleaned it up, and repainted it. I was trying to get the neutral safety switch to work properly, but when I set it for neutral it starts fine, but the reverse lights don't work. When I set it for the reverse lights to work, it won't start in park or neutral. I stopped at the parts store to see about replacing the neutral safety switch, but I don't know if I would be getting the correct switch. One place couldn't find anything, and another place gave me the part number of BWD S9210. It appears to be the same switch, but I'm curious to know if it will do the same thing. Is there a different neutral safety switch for a 700R4? For the people who have replaced the neutral safety switch on a van tilt column, what is the part number that you got for the switch? Thanks

Re: Van Tilt Neutral Safety Switch Part Number?
Hey Mike, I have replaced a broken van tilt BU/NS switch or two before and have always used the same switch on the TH's or converted over to 700R's. I do not think you are going to find a 700R specific BU/NS switch listing anywhere for these old keyless GM van style tilts. The following part numbers should work out fine for you, if you want to spring for the GM/AC Delco one use #1994212, I have also had good luck with the Napa/Echlin #NS6537 on the below style tilts. The Napa #NS6537 crosses over to that same #S9210 part number you had listed above which also crosses over to a Standard #NS52 or a Wells #DR457. Mel

Re: Van Tilt Neutral Safety Switch Part Number?
Hey Mike, per your pm and also out of curiosity, I just went and picked up a couple of the #S9210 switches and they both have that plastic locking pin in place that you mentioned on your switch. I am thinking it's a one time deal used maybe for setup or even shipping? Anyhow you can install the switch by moving the inner shift tube till it all lines up allowing the switch to drop in, then tighten the switch screws and now move the shift lever and it will shear that plastic pin allowing the inner switch tab to now slide back and fourth. You can also do this by hand with just your fingers using slight pressure. Mel
