Cougar Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 High input = short Are you sure about that Nipper? Usually a high condition would mean a 'open' condition I would think. Like the circuit isn't terminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircraft engineer Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Try it in neutral and then wiggle the shifter while turning the key. IF it turns the starter, it's the neutral safety switch, otherwise it's somewhere else. hi input is usually an "open" circuit not a short but the switch might be bad anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Are you sure about that Nipper? Usually a high condition would mean a 'open' condition I would think. Like the circuit isn't terminated. Well you have a "high" and a "low" High output means its seeing voltage/current/signal when it is not expecting too, OR the switch/sensor is out of range (its expecing to see 1.2 volts and its seeing 3 volts). Low is the opposite. Now if it was a resistor based sensor where it is looking for a resistance (which switches are not usually) like a temp sensor, then i would agree. i cant really see them using a resistance based logic to a switch, but i guess its possible. Either way i would replace the switch and the problem should go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree with what you say there Nipper. I just don't equate a high as a short, as you stated earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
