I don't have the code number available but on my scan tool it
said the PRND switch. Do I just remove the two connectors the two bolts and switch will pull off?

Pretty much dont forget to remove the shifter cable and the arm that it hooks too. Also you will have to adjust the new switch.I posted how to adjust it let me know how it comes out.

It's called a Park/Neutral position switch and it's located on the top of the transmission at the shift lever.

I have replaced the Neutral Safety Switch yesterday following the directions you posted and everything went well! This was my first time using this web site. I thank you again and hope your Christmas Holiday was nice. I don't serve on a military ship I work on a supply ship servicing oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks, Tom.
