Hi,
this is the neutral safety switch, it blocks the starter if you are not on P or N with your automatic transmission.

It turns on the reverse lights too (when you select reverse).
I'm in the process of replacing the cable that actuates the switch while I do a few other things.

Hi Rolf, that was just a pic I found. It isn't my car. Wish it was.
It was easier to see in that pic because it was all cleaned up.
