1996 toyota t 100 wont turn over

I had a problem with the neutral safety switch, I got it hot stuck in snow drift. I replaced it but still cant get engine to turn over from key, I attached an exciter wire to the starter now I can start it by jumping from battery with key on. But it will not start from turning ignition. I am wondering if it is a problem in the transmission maybe or is it the ignition switch. Thanks Dwayne

Test for power to the neutral safety switch first to see if a signal comes from your ignition switch . Hook a test light or voltage meter to the wire from the ignition switch into the neutral switch even wiggling the ignition switch a little to see if it try's to start . Try moving/ wiggling the gear selector in park or neutral while cranking the ignition to see if the neutral switch has intermittent contact .

    The black/yellow wire going into the neutral switch shows on a schematic to be the input from your ignition switch .

Can you be a little more specific about the neutral safety switch?

SOURCE: 89 toyota celica st not starting but clicking

There is either a cable not getting a very good connection, solenoid has problems, or there is a wiring leading to a relay that has a bad connections. How is your ignition? Is it loose or have loose wires?

also check the magnetic switch mounted on the starter housing, is supplied by current from the starting switch circuit of the ignition switch. This magnetic action of the switch mechanically engages the starter clutch assembly and electrically closes the heavy switch which connects it to the battery. The starting switch circuit consists of the starting switch contained within the ignition switch, a transmission neutral safety switch or clutch pedal switch, and the wiring necessary to connect these in series with the starter solenoid or relay.

SOURCE: 1999 Toyota Solara Starter or Ignition Switch problem?

Your problem is a faulty starter solenoid relay.
It is staying in the POWER ON position.
The relay is located under the hood near the power distribution panel (fusebox) i believe.
Consult your owners manual or Repair manual for exact location.

SOURCE: I have A 2003 toyota Corolla with a no start

you need to see how far the power is getting through the circuit. you will need a volt meter and maybe a friend to help. so start at the small wire on the starter. this should have power when you turn the ignition key. no power? then move to starter relay, no power? then move to neutral safety switch, still no power? ignition switch and fuse or fusable link or fuse box connection, wire connections. just approach it like water flowing though a pipe- but somewhere on the pipe there is a break in the pipe (circuit).

You can jump relays or switches just to prove to yourself that the starter can turn over.

SOURCE: 1999 Toyota Corolla CE.

I had the same problem with my 99 corolla. It was the solenoid contacts in the starter...they were worn down and didn't either get enough contact or sometimes kind of melt togther (that's why starter spins even after you turn off car and key). Got new contacts and car starts like new!

Rolls royce silver spirit 1982 can't move as been told stuck in gear. Turns over, fuel pump clicking. Been told this means working fine. Started up after first time in 10 years, been dry stored. ...

If it is like other cars with automatics, the neutral safety switch won't allow starting in gear. The park/neutral switch would not allow current to pass through to the starter motor from the ignition switch if it is not in park or neutral. This is a safety feature, and probably universal.
Pull one of the spark plug wires from a spark plug and check for spark while the engine is cranking over. If no spark, the ignition system needs diagnosing. I have no idea where to go from there on a Rolls Royce- it would be rather primitive compared to modern electronics, but then on a rolls, well you get my drift.

The two items in question are the linkage (center console or column shift) and the neutral safety switch.
Check the reverse light to see is it on.
Inspect and tighten the neutral safety switch mounting bolts.
The center plastic (white gear) is worn.
Replace this switch will fix the problem.

1996 saturn wont start when its hot-starter wont even turn over-once it cools off it starts right back up

Possibilities:

1. Engine has a gasket leak & when hot, prevents the engine from turning over because the cylinder is filled with steam/water & you just hear a click. A car with this problem could also have oil in the anti-freeze, or thin oil from antifreeze getting into the engine oil. You would also be adding coolant from time to time if this were the problem.

2. Starter has a warped main shaft that only has an effect when it's hot, the shaft returns more to the original shape when cold, allowing it to rotate & have proper contact electrically.

3. Other than that, it's just a matter of troubleshooting. I'm hoping you have a 12 Volt test light that clamps to a ground on one end & has a pointed tip with a light in the handle.

Go start it & get the engine hot to where the starter won't work. Have someone else turn the ignition switch for you as you use the tester on the main wire going from the solenoid to the starter. If it won't crank & you have voltage & your ground wire connection is also good, it would be the starter at fault.

There is also a thin wire there coming from the ignition switch through the neutral safety switch that makes the solenoid work that can be tested Hot & Cold to be sure that your ignition switch & neutral safety switch are both working properly when hot. If you get no voltage here when hot, you'll have to test the wiring through the Neutral safety switch to verify if it is at fault or it it is the Ignition switch.

Good Luck

1996 dodge stratus will not turn over my daughter could not get the car in park to turn it off , disconnected battery , reconnected wont start but has power

A safety device called the "neutral safety switch" will not allow you to start your car unless it is in Park or Neutral.If you start the car in neutral be careful it doesn't roll by applying the park brake.Then service the shifter-clutch to repair.
