Good afternoon,

I attached the location of the switch for you to view.

I also attached a diagram for you of the switch.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

OPERATION
On vehicles with 3-speed automatic transmission the park/neutral switch provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

The park/neutral position switch is located on the automatic transaxle housing Fig. 20. Manual transaxles do not use park/neutral switches. The switch provides an input to the PCM to indicate whether the automatic transaxle is in Park/Neutral, or a drive gear selection. This input is used to determine idle speed (varying with gear selection) and ignition timing advance. The park/neutral input is also used to cancel vehicle speed control. The park/neutral switch is sometimes referred to as the neutral safety switch.
