Re: What is this plug and where does it go?
That is your neutral safety switch. It mounts to the column about where you found it. You should find the square hole and the two screw holes in that area.

That looks like the neutral safety switch. It mounts to the steering column.

Re: What is this plug and where does it go?
Is that also the back-up light switch? If so can your Neutral Safety Switch function properly and your back up lights not work?

Re: What is this plug and where does it go?
That's REAL interesting. I haven't had back-up lights since I was a a young buck. Figured to get it right with the rebuild. Will be taking a good look at that switch, and the screw adjustment I can't visualize at this point.

Once you install it on the column it will have some slop in it. Take and get the neutral first and then see if the lights work when in reverse.

Re: What is this plug and where does it go?
Should be just 2 screw holes, I believe that is not the original steering wheel but don't know the year of your truck.

Has it been changed over to a straight drive?

That is a late 70's 80's model steering wheel. The opening should be on top of shaft towards the floor.

Re: What is this plug and where does it go?
Hey Andy, this is a 1972 Blazer. Has been messed with but the SPID says it was a Auto. In that picture what year is the steering column on the left? It does not have a hole at the bottom of the shaft for the switch. Looks like it is higher closer to the steering wheel. As mine has no screw holes or anything close to the firewall.
Should there be a part number stamped in on this column? |

Re: What is this plug and where does it go?
I looked at that link. Looks like this might be a column out of a van. Some what they said the van columns did not have a spot for the NSS. Looks like I need to buy this switch that mounts to the trans.
Thanks for that link it saved a lot of searching! http://www.jegs.com/i/Lokar/625/BL-1...2/-1#reviewTab |
