OK..potential pattern failure, 7xx cars w/automatic trans...neutral safety switch wears out. 700

Took about 250K and 16 years, but there it was. A nice square contact (should be rounded and smooth--the other one was) point due to wear and a relaxed copper alloy arm...the car wouldn't start unless the switch was compressed by hand (a get-home crutch, BTW!). And beware...the volvo part comes with a new and cheaper connector that the dealer crutches by selling you four terminals and the late model socket for an additional $5.00!! You're supposed to clip the OEM chassis harness clip off and crimp the new male spade terminals on and install the late model socket so the new NSS can plug into it...I just used the old socket and spliced it onto the new NSS.

BTW...I got the impression from the volvo dealer that this same NSS is used on the 9xx series....
