So I have a new starter relay, a new neutral safety switch in the transmission (single wire), ran all new wires from the switch to the relay, relay to the starter button, and it still starts in any gear. Anyone have any ideas???

I'm not sure what lever is in the transmission...I will need to call John Cope and ask. I tried the test light and got no light any way I tried it.

The single post NSS will work just fine with the newer roostercomb.
A simple test with a meter or test light will show if the NSS is staying grounded in gears other than P and N.

With the test light hooked up I can touch the outside of the NSS and I get a light, but no light on the terminal where the wire hooks up to.

I have the switch thats in the middle of the pictue. So the car will still start with the NSS disconnected. It just seems like my wiring is bypassing the starter relay. I have the wire going from the NSS to the G on the relay, then a wire from the I on the relay to my starter button. What else am I missing???

Don't bother pulling the pan, if "the car will still start with the NSS disconnected" as you stated earlier the problem isn't in the transmission.

unplug the wire at starter relay and if doesn't crank, I think you found it wire is simply grounded somehow, peeled or whatever...
