Thanks again, Irv. All's quiet now! Starting the car wasn't the issue for
me.
It was that darn whining squeak of a signal, for no reason I could discern.
The neutral safety switch is also wire into the module plug, supposedly
preventing you from being able to start the car in any gear but neutral....
Nice to know I'll never have to hear that signal again....
