It's a 90% chance my car is having issues because of the neutral safety switch. Where exactly is it located my mechanic seems kind of confused so I want to make sure he's working on the correct area. He says its located under the center console where I have my gears. But I also read it could be by one if the tires. It's a EX 4 cylinder.

 

Should be #2 which is located at the gear select lever.

YOU ARE CORRECT SIR!!! Just changed mine in my 96 EX today.

 

Im very curious as to know what are the symptoms of a bad neutral switch

 

The car won't start!

 

Thats it just flat out wont start? It wouldnt be a intermittent problem? Sometimes it will sometimes no

 

It could be intermittent. If there was a short in the switch and or the wires and they lost contact intermittently. A loose wire connector could do that as well.

 

Looks like I have the same problem. I was able to start it to get it home by taking the meter probe(as a wire) from 12v battery to the solenoid terminal (I believe "S" terminal), the smaller, of the two anyway. Got Korki out of a bad neighborhood . Troubleshooting time.

 

I'm curious to know if the neutral safety switch was indeed your issue? I have a 97 Honda Accord, and it intermittently just decides not to start, and one day I got curious and thought "hey I'll just jump the starter while I have the key in the on position and it should work", and thus like you, that's how I've started my car whenever I have the issue, which is becoming more frequent, so just curious to know if it actually was the switch. I just replaced the starter so I know that's good, as well as the electrical part of the ignition switch (both were worn out when replaced) and thus I'm down to this as my last conclusion.
