sm465 neutral saftey switch
Just trying to button up some of the wiring before it goes in for inspection. I have two switches on my transmission, one I would say is for back up, the other a neutral safety switch? Side being reverse top being neutral or the other way around?

Re: sm465 neutral saftey switch
My neutral safety switch is mounted on the pedal assembly (On my K5). My reverse switch is on top. What year is your SM465?

Get you continuity tester out. Revere switch should go to ground when in reverse.

Re: sm465 neutral saftey switch
I got the reverse lights figured out, theyre the side switch. Now I cant figure out the neutral safety. I have two trucks that had manuals and neither have a switch anywhere on the clutch pedals. Can anyone else confirm that is the location of the switch or did some not have them at all? I need a neutral safety switch in order to pass inspection, any ideas where I could get one and adapt it to my pedal?

Re: sm465 neutral saftey switch
OK had a beer and an idea popped into my head, now its not the most professional job but it works. So my idea was to take the brake switch from a parts truck and mount it to the clutch, Ill make a better bracket later but it works so far.

Re: sm465 neutral saftey switch
I did a very similar mod. When I added a speedo stat cruise control, they have this mickey mouse set up for disengaging the cruise if you step on the clutch before the brake pedal. It is a sensor that goes around a plug wire and kicks off the cruise if the revs go to high. Not my idea of a good failsafe, so I put another brake light switch on the clutch pedal to disengage the cruise.
