Neutral Safety wiring??

[badss540]

Need a little help, Pro-line 2500 trans (no safety switch),Hurst 1/4 stick with 1 wire safety switch,MSD 7al3 box, where do i hook up the Neutral safety wire from the shifter? thanks

Mine is between the starter button and the starter, juice will only reach the starter when its contacting park or neutral,hope this helps. OOPs, sorry read it wrong, 1 wire, got me too.

You can use a relay between the starter button and the solenoid, send 12V to one side of the trigger and ground the other with the neutral safety switch. You can also swap the 12V and the starter button and take the load off the starter button.

Bad,

double check, your Hurst switch has two [2] male spade terminals. It is not obvious and one terminal is more recessed than the other.

So, the Hurst switch is wired in-line between your starter switch and the starter solenoid.

I thought about this for a day or 2 and come to the conclusion you have to have 2 spades to make it work. What the heck is 1 spade going to do?
Go to ground!!!!!

Yeah, most OEM gearboxes these days come with a neutral switch that has a floating electrical contact (two spades).

The "no start when in gear" requirement is now a mandatory design requirement in every country on the planet.

If your Hurst only has a single grounded electrical contact, (one spade) an electrical relay will be required.

Tony, it only has 1 wire, so what is the recomended wiring for it,thanks

is this what the switch looks like? If so, notice the kit contains two [2] terminals.

If your switch does not look like this then Hurst has come out with a new switch that I am not know about.

First you need to find +12 volts that comes from the ignition switch. This should only have voltage on it when the ignition switch is in the "accessory" or "engine running" position. It should be dead when the ignition switch is off and the key out. A lamp or multimeter will help identify this wire.

This goes to one side of the relay coil. The other side of the relay coil goes the the spade on your Hurst shifter. The relay should then be in one condition (on or off) in neutral, and the other condition (off or on) in every other gear.

Next you need to identify the wire that goes between the "start" position of the ignition switch, and the spade on the starter motor.

This wire will need to be cut, and the two free ends extended to the contacts of the new relay.

The idea is that the "start" position of the ignition switch can now only supply power to the starter motor through the new relay. The relay contacts will only be on the closed position when your gearbox is in neutral.
