Common signs of failure:

• Starter does not operate while the engine is in neutral

• Engine starts while the control is in gear

• Neutral indication is incorrect

• Engine-management system reports an invalid gear position

• Switch plunger sticks

• Switch operates only when the linkage is moved by hand

• Connector terminals are corroded or loose

• Wiring is damaged near the shift mechanism

• Intermittent no-crank condition occurs
