The neutral safety switch on a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an automatic transmission is located either inside the transmission case or in the linkage that allows the vehicle to shift gears. This important switch prevents you from starting the engine when the transmission is in a gear other than Park or Neutral. To access the switch, you will need to remove the transmission pan. Look for the valve body assembly on the vehicle where the connection is located. While the repair isn't overly difficult, it does require some knowledge and experience working with transmission components, and should take about an hour to complete. The replacement switch typically costs between $30 and $60, depending on the brand and quality of the part.
