I have a service engine soon light displaying codes for neutral safety switch on a 2008 Nissan Versa manual transmission. Where is this switch?

I have checked the top of the transaxle, and in the center console near the shifter. I have not torn apart the plastic encasement for the gear shifter, but have removed the 4 bolts for the gear shifter and the unit sits on top of the heat shields for the exhaust system. I have to be overlooking this switch somewhere.

It's usually attached to the clutch pedal assembly, it's just a switch that tells your vehicle that it's safe to start when you press the clutch in, for an automatic vehicle it won't allow it to start unless it's in Park or Nuetral. It's a safety thing but can be a slight pain in the neck, if they're expensive pick one up at a salvage yard or a junkyard; it'll be fine, you can change it simply with common tools. Familiarize yourself by watching q YouTube video or even a google search to make it as simple as possible on yourself when you have to actually change it. Simple, you've got this!

SOURCE: I have an automatic gear shift console light bulb

That is a very tough bulb to replace. Once you get the center console pieces out of the way there should be a couple of screws or blots that hold down the trim around the gear shift. Remove those and lift gentley. You will barley be able to access the bulb. but it can be done.

SOURCE: is the neutral switch the same as the transaxle range switch?

Yes they are the same part just different names. The neutral safety is part of the transmission/transaxle range selector combination switch.

1996 Nissan Pathfinder v6 5 speed back up light switch position

The switch that controls the backup lamps on a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder looks completely different and is in a slightly different location depending on whether the vehicle is equipped with a manual or automatic transmission. However, in ether case, the switch is located on the transmission.

On the manual transmission it is called simply, "backup switch".
On the automatic transmission it is part of the "inhibitor switch". (also known as "neutral safety switch")

I have a 01 ford taurus whit p0705 transmission code and i have no idea what this mean

Code P0705 - Transmisson Range Sensor Circuit (PRNDL Input)
The transmission range switch detects the selector lever position and sends a signal to the TCM.

The park/neutral position (PNP) switch includes a transmission range switch. The transmission range switch detects the selector lever position when the shift lever is in the N or P shift position and sends a signal to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).

Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Possible causes
- Open or short park/neutral position switch circuit
- Poor park/neutral position switch circuit connection
- Misadjusted park/neutral position switch
- Park/neutral position switch may be faulty

Keep us updated (remember to rate thsi answer).
