[QUOTE="tronary, post: 1432659, member: 223484"] Yoy changed the ignition switch and now are looking for the neutral switch?? The ignition switch and the neutral switch have nothing to do with your problem. NEVER replace any part till you KNOW the problem. The one thing you can do is buy a battery brush, remove the battery terminals and clean them and the battery posts till they shine. This probably won't solve the problem but give it a try. How old is your battery ? If it's the original in a '97 it's prolly done for. Try a jump stsrt or a battery charger and see if battery will charge. A fully charged battery will read 13.5 volts. If less than 13 it is not charged. The alt. must put out at least 14 volts or it is not charging the battery. You can have the battery and alt. tested at any auto supply. I suspect your battery is done but never jump to conclusions. Always test before making decisions. [/QUOTE]
