Why is my Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo is stuck in reverse

I have had a problem with it starting in park and only starting in neutral therefore I changed out the neutral safety switch and it seemed to fix the problem for a few days. then it wouldnt turn over at all. I then noticed that the reverse lights stayed on constantly when turning the key on and stays on when shifting to park and other gears. what could be a possible solution?

Either you got the wrong neutral safety switch or it is installed incorrectly

The switch is on the transmission..It is usually a dealer item but you can get one from Rockauto.com for about 1/4 of what the dealers charge.

SOURCE: where is neutral safety switch 95 jeep cherokee

Your switch is on the passenger side of the transmission opposite where the shift linkage goes in on the drivers side.It takes a bit of careful prying and wiggling and some solvent to get most to come off. after removing the hardware that holds it on. The switch goes for about $200 but can be taken apart and cleaned...unless the contacts are really burned it will generally work after that. make sure that you keep it flat when taking it apart because stuff inside can fall out easily. Put dielectric grease in there before closing it up.Can't help with schematic...the ones I have I wouldn't wish on anyone. (terrible)

your transmission is in "limp home" mode, the problem is one of the sensors on your transmission. you need to have an obdII scanner connected to read the codes stored in your vehicles computer. this will tell you which sensor has failed

Testimonial: "Thanks, will get that checked out"

1999 jeep grand cherokee drives forward in reverse and neutral

Jeep has always had a problem down the line with the shifter linkage usuallly under the shifter, you have to take apart the console or column and locate whats broken inside there. I've had this issue myself with Cherokees too .

Car stuck in reverse how do I get it back in park

The shifter is connected to a cable that is then attached to a small lever on the transmission. Disconnet the cable at the transmission end and you'll likely be able to physically put it in neutral. Disconnect it at the shifter end and you'll be able to move the shifter to trigger the neutral lockout switch and allow the car to start. You can also short this switch to trick the car into thinking it is in neutral.

Shifting lever doesnt lock

Likely the shift detent mechanism is broken. It's inside the unit and can be reached by removing the trans pan. It should be just inside where the shift lever goes through the case.

Sounds like the lockup torque converter has failed. Repair requires trans removal and possible rebuild if converter has contaminated unit. Have a trans shop verify!!
