Hey everyone, I have my 73 Omega that was having problems with the ignition starting up, so after going though everything possible i finally got it worked out. Now the problem at hand is when i was looking for the cause of the issue i replace my neutral safety switch and now im having problems with getting it to start. I may have my wires crossed as i didn't mark them and was in a rush to get to the auto parts store before they closed . I was curious if any of you could please do me a huge favor a snap a pic of the wiring on your safety switch so i can make sure i have it properly wired. I really appreciate it and thankyou for all your help fellow olds lovers

 

On your switch, there's 2 sets of male connectors. The 2 on the left are for the ignition, and the 2 on the right are for your back-up lights.

 

Does it matter which way the wires are facing? I have about 2 wires running to the left, 2 to the middle and 3 to right on my safety switch

 

Check other threads here. I also had a little trouble trouble getting the right wires to the right place but it's not hard. Just keep changing them until you get the right combo.

 

the switch is adjustable, at least, it should be. the switch is probably out of adjustment?

 

I have wiring diagram for my 74,would that help?
Also My 74 has a starter relay bypass,not sure a bout the 73.I had problems with that a few years ago.
