Humvee won't start after changing transmission shifter

[daniel.7575]

Hi guys..
Wondering if anyone knows what I've done?? Just changed out my transmission shift unit, and now truck won't start.. Batteries are good and glow system is merrily clicking away but when I move lever to start there's nothing..
so I think it may be the neutral switch?.. Is there also a neutral switch on the transmission? Do these both need to be set up some how?
The old levers were pretty worn and loose so I'm wondering if I should have reset things somehow when fitting a new unit?
I'm going to look through TM's but thought someone may know something obvious that I've missed..!
Thanks in advance..

Yes, there is a switch to prevent the truck from starting in gear. Must be in Neutral (or Park if equipped) for the HMMWV to start. Some did get finickey over time on where the lever had to be.

Thanks for the reply.. So the switch is on the shifter... Is it the same type of switch as the one on the handbrake? Got a ball bearing in that is depressed..
So is there also a switch on the trans itself? I'm thinking that if that's the case then when the levers in neutral the trans is in drive and when the trans is in neutral the shifter is not? I'm pretty sure I reconnected the wires correctly though I didn't see a seperte ground anywhere?

NS switch...they do go bad, none on the trans...you can bypass the NSS.

Yep you guys were right.. Dodgy neutral switch, bypassed it and started straight up!
Was surprised as all parts were nos..
Thanks again for the help..
