Hello there. ...quick question...when hot the neutral light on my 03 rd kng flickers and at times goes completely out. Is this a safety mechanism?thanks...Happy Thanksgiving to all...m

 

Check the connections to the neutral switch on top of the transmission, just next to the starter. The switch has two prongs on it.

Sometimes, a connection can get loose due to age, vibration, and including heat over time. It does't take much for one to flicker.....they cannot have any looseness or they will flicker.

 

Evo's right- that happened to mine when new- I had a loose connector at the switch. Just squeezed the connector a little with a pair of pliers to give it more grip & it's been fine since.

 

I had the same problem, no loose connections on mine. I replaced it for $6 bucks, never had a problem again. Mine took a 7/8 socket and 5 minutes at most.

EDIT: a day late and a dollar short, but what I "replaced" was my neutral switch.........failed to mention this.
