Mine always have done it. Even my old blazer. I remember a friend had the little sensor that controls that stuff out and messed with it,he fixed my old one. He moved and i havent spoke to him in years. Wish i knew what exactly he did.

also, bit off topic,giovanni I cant find a damn camera for the pics of that stuff you wanted. But i did look and the seat cover thing on mine is broke. I do have the hinge though

The sensor is positioned at the spot on the gear selector where the light comes on. LOL... I remember, at an oil place..... "sir, your brake lights don't work" So I got in and turned them on (mine only come on at the bottom of the R gear closer to N) and he wondered how I did that. I would know because I rely on the light to back into my backyard at night. Its just a sensor issue. Dont know where it is though.

I believe you guys are speaking of the nuetral safety switch. It just snaps on & off the top of the steering column down by the firewall inside the cab.
