This. Even GOOD parts stores are at the mercy of their databases, which sometimes have errors. I just got a wrong part for another vehicle from NAPA, and my local NAPA folks know their stuff. If it doesn't fit, don't assume your car is wrong.

That's the right switch. It should be near the shift cable entry. The ball rides on the shift quadrant inside the transmission and the three pins are neutral safety, reverse lights, and power. The plug will only go it one way. The wires are very susceptible to damage and corrosion from road debris. My reverse lights quit working because one wire had rotted off at the plug. A new plug is available at a dealer.

Im new to all this, does any one have a pic for the location of the Neutral Safety Switch for a 4.7 2004 grand cherokee? I was told I have to drop the Value Body! Joe If you have the 4.7 V8 that means you have the 545RFE trans,no real neutral safety switch.It's called the range selector something
and is part of the solenoid pack(must service as whole component) located above the valve body.It's expensive also,there are 2 versions with one version being real expensive.
