The neutral safety switch for a Chevy Aveo is located on the side of the transmission near the gear shifter linkage. It ensures that the transmission is in park or neutral when starting the engine, preventing potential transmission damage. If the switch malfunctions, your vehicle may require being in neutral rather than park to start. Although it is an inexpensive component, changing it can be quite intricate. Typically, you will have to take out the center console to reach the area where the switch is positioned on top of the transmission.
