I need to replace the neutral safety switch on my 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500. I is an automatic. I need to know the location of it and how to get to it most of all because I have the part and it seems like it could be real easy to replace. Like is it under the dash, do I need to get under the car, or is it under the hood, etc. Any info you have would be so great, THANK YOU!
If it looks like this:
It is mounted on the side of the tranny. It also says a special to remove it.
This is a pic of the tool.

The switch should be on the drivers side of the tranny where the shift linkage attaches to it. You will need a 13mm socket and a 15 mm socket . You will also need a heat gun , the electrical plug is glued into the connectors and must be warmed up to be removed . these rarly go bad but they do get out of adjustment / or when removing pan techs are ad to bend the shift cable bracket and get them out of adjustment . Loosen the two 13mm bolts and move it slightly in both directions and see if this fixs you problem before you change it out.
