The Neutral Safety / Backup Lamp Switch – A/T Without Console is an OE-style electrical component designed for 1967–1968 GM vehicles equipped with automatic transmission and without a floor console. This switch restores proper neutral safety function and reverse lamp activation on classic Chevrolet and Pontiac muscle car applications, making it an essential service item for accurate restoration and reliable operation.
Correct for column-shift automatic configurations, this switch prevents the engine from starting unless the transmission is in Park or Neutral while also activating the back-up lamps when shifted into Reverse. Over time, original switches can wear internally, resulting in intermittent starting issues or non-functioning reverse lights. Replacing the switch restores proper electrical operation consistent with original factory design.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, this neutral safety and backup lamp switch matches original mounting configuration, terminal layout, and function used on 1967–1968 non-console automatic transmission applications. Proper fitment ensures correct alignment with the factory steering column linkage and wiring harness connections.
This switch is intended specifically for automatic transmission vehicles without a console. It is not designed for floor-shift or console-equipped models. Correct application identification is important prior to ordering.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, this neutral safety / backup lamp switch is a third-party OE-style replacement selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit and function accuracy.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
