Just finished repairing my Ford 1920 neutral safety switch, and decided to share how I went about it, so if you can't wait for a new switch (or are cheap like me), you may be able to fix your old switch.

Thanks for the video. I suspect your repair will last longer than if you were to replace it with a new switch and I'm sure it gave some people an idea how stuff is made and what can fail from corrosion etc. A little lube can go a long way but the factories don't seem to have time for that.

Lots of things that are "disposable" can be FIXED relatively easy, if one will just take the time. Had a windshield wiper motor quit once, & could not find one local without special order. With nothing but time to lose, took it apart & cleaned the copper plate the contact points rode on, & my fix outlasted the rest of the car.

I know what you mean about fixable. The key in this case was the way it was made. If they had not had the bendable metal tabs, then I might have never been able to get it apart. When I saw them, it reminded me of the old style volume controls I used to open up and clean, back in the days I was repairing TV's and stereos.

If you thought this was a nice save, check out my other videos, the Dodge cruise control fix was a nice save.
