RH and LH Neutral Switch
Purpose
Used to ensure the motion control handles are in neutral.
It is activated by moving the motion control handles to
the neutral position (handles outward).
Location
The RH and LH neutral switches are located in the
fender/control arm pivot area. The RH switch is service-
able without removing the fender assembly. LH switch
service access is improved when the LH fender is
removed.
Remove the harness connection from the switch. Press
the locking tabs (B) in and push the switch out of its
mounting slot (Fig. 153).
How it Works
This single pole plunger (normally open) type switch
has two terminals. When the motion control handles are
in the neutral position (handles in the OUT position),
it pushes on the plunger, closing the contact and
connecting the terminals (Fig. 154).

When the key is ON and both neutral switches are
closed (handles out), battery power is supplied to the
Brake Actuator Module (pin 2) from the key switch (Fig.
155).

Testing
1. Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness.
2. With a multimeter set to the Ohm or Continuity
setting, check the continuity between the two switch
terminals.
3. With the plunger pushed in, there should be
continuity between the terminals. With the plunger
pulled out, there should not be continuity between
the terminals.
