In a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500, you can find the neutral safety switch located near the left rear corner close to the transmission pan. This switch is a safety feature that only allows you to start the engine when the automatic transmission is in Park or Neutral. Its purpose is to prevent the car from starting in gear, which could lead to sudden forward movement. When you turn the ignition with the automatic transmission in Park or the manual transmission in Neutral and the clutch engaged, the starter should activate. If the vehicle fails to start under these conditions, it may indicate a problem with the neutral safety switch within the transmission.
