Neutral Safety Switch | C6 Automatic | 78-79 Bronco, 78-79 Ford Truck

Protect your transmission and restore safe starting with this neutral safety switch (NSS), correct for 1978-79 Ford Bronco and 1978-79 Ford F-Series truck equipped with the C6 automatic transmission. This direct-fit switch ensures your vehicle only starts in park or neutral, preventing drivetrain damage or accidental vehicle movement during startup.

Beyond start protection, the NSS also controls your reverse lights, activating the back-up lamps when the shifter is placed in reverse. A worn or malfunctioning switch can cause no-start conditions, starting in gear, or loss of back-up lamp function. This OE-style replacement restores full functionality with a direct electrical connector for simple installation.

Pro Tip: If your Bronco or truck won’t start in park/neutral or the reverse lights don’t work, the NSS is the first part to check.
