Extremely helpful! Thank you. I'm having troubles from a 1966 C4 in a Mustang. This is just what I needed to know.

Where does the end of that pigtail plug in to? I have a project 1990 F250, and this plant was unplugged, and I have no idea where it plugs in to 🤷🏾‍♂️ I am new to transmission stuff

[@RosyWrench]

@@reggiesanders1229 there's a set of taped wires coming from inside the cabin through the firewall, usually near the driver's side within a few inches of where the column comes out.

Thank you for your reply. I'll look for it when I get a chance. Thanks again!

Very helpful video! My 1970 Torino has a neutral safety switch on the shifter itself, and it is malfunctioning BADLY!! It is working sometimes, and sometimes not. Then it will work in park but not neutral, then neutral but not park. Can I retro fit the selector shaft type switch onto my C4? Right now it has a red plastic cover that moves with the shaft as it changes gears. CAN I RETROFIT THIS TYPE OF SWITCH TO MY CAR?? In other words do all C4's have this keyed shaft? The switch in the car has the same type of plug.

My C4 also has the kickdown lever built into the end of this shaft. That may complicate things I guess

Technically yes a switch could be rewired on the transmission instead of the column. Optimally a replacement switch is the best fix. Those column-mounted switches function the same way, but for some reason cost 3X as much. In the interim, you could jump the circuit with an alligator clip so it would start in any position, or put a toggle switch in-line, but either of those options may interfere with the reverse lights.
