Re: [Chrysler300] Need help: 300C starter button fail

I belive all that had the start function on the neutral button on TF or PF ? 57 58 for sure . Other wise you push neutral with engine running starter engages , but you have neutral switch too . Might be timing of neutral switch or someting to make it redundant like that . The switches get erratic . I do not know about 55-56 ? Start still on key ?

My ’55 C-300 did not have a vacuum safety switch and neither does my ‘64K.  Just curious as to which years had them.

 

Inquiring minds want to know.

Agree w John .. Jump vacuum switch and try and jump neutral switch to ground and try . Vacuum switch is a little dicey on these cars. Have also seen wiring mixed up at start relay to vacuum switch but itvwas working right?

Hi Jeff,

You need to first check:

 1.  The Neutral Switch located on the outside of the transmission.

2.  Vacuum Switch  on the intake manifold

 

I don’t think your starter button switch is the problem.

Hi all

 

The starter button/neutral button in my C fails to engage the starter. Jumping the relay starts the car fine, so I

can only assume the button is the problem.

 

Is my next step to pull the shift button assembly or is there a simpler attack ?  Any insight greatly appreciated !!

 

Thanks !
