neutral safety switch??
My 1995 Ford Crown Victoria would not come out of Park this morning. I had the brake pedal depressed, ignition on and still nothing. Is the problem the neutral safety switch? Is there another switch in the ignition? Is there a switch at the brake pedal? Thanks for your help.

sounds more like the brake interlock device to me. Typically a bad neutral safety switch will keep it from starting, but not from moving out of park.
If you are stuck in park, then it is likely the device that controls the release to the shift lever when you depress the brake.
I bet Joe or someone else will chime in who knows a little more about that device---as I have not replaced one yet personally

I would check owners manual, see if there is a fuse. Then,
Possibly a bad connection, bad safety swx or safety swx relay.
Seems if I remember correctly, on this veh, the swx is on the trans.

Thanks for your suggestion... I considered looking for a fuse, but had decided that a fuse probably wouldn't cause the shift lever to lock up.....after reading your post, I decided to do the smart thing and look.....sure enough, there was one burned out, and when I replaced it, everything was fine.
Thanks again.
