  • 250 neutral safety switch issues

    Tried to out smart Mr Zuke! I was told my 2007 250 has 2 NSS's one on engine & one in throttle control. The one on the engine was bad according to my ohm meter. So I jumped the pig tail going to it & Alls was good. Tried it 20 times, no problems. So I "hot wired" the switch, again all good, checked 20 more times. Went out today & motor is throwing a 3-3 code. Neutral safety switch, and of course I can't go above 3,000 rpm. Is the only solution replacing the switch? It's a bear to get at, especially with the boat on a lift & no trailer. All thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Roy

    Update! I reconnected the pigtail to the NSS as per factory, now it's back to having to play with shifter 6-8 to get engine started, BUT the 3-3 code & beep is still there. Is there a way to reset it? Roy

      re NSS Just wondering if you tried to make any adjustments to this?
      Is it properly centered?
      Usually a code only goes away when what is causing the error code is fixed

        I believe the switches are adjustable. Doing your own work will be easier if you spend a few bucks on a service manual.

          Mike, I do have the service manual, that's how I determined the switch on the engine was bad. I don't understand why the code doesn't go away when the switch IS working. Art, Will look at linkage/adjustment this am. Thanks, Roy

            Well the code went away when the motor was put in gear. In neutral it was still showing the 3-3 code, this am, as soon as I put it in gear the code & beep went away. Linkage looks ok, but I'm going to hire a mechanic to replace NSS & check linkage. Roy

              Obviously you were able to clear the code error
              Great work!

                ''''' Just buy a switch and change it your self, adjust it so it is closed in neutral and open when in gear, simple.
