420 SEL Start in Neutral - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

On my 420 SEL, I have to start the engine while the transmission is in neutral. I believe that there is a "switch of some sort" (technical lingo

) that will cure this issue.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Can you help me with a fix?

Thanks,
Mike

You have a[ Neutral Safty Switch] mounted on the drivers side of the trans. This switch is addustable, but it did not work for me so i replaced it . The cost on Fastlane is 45.00.
