I bought this chevy s10 a few wks ago , did some small stuff to it , but now it don't want to start everytime , i have lights and everything but nothing , and now and then if i move the gear shift it will start. We think it's the neutral safety switch , but not sure where it is and how to replace it .

The neutral safety switch is called a Transmission Position Switch. It's located on the side of the transmission at the shift lever.
