    2003 Z4 Automatic Transmission Range Sensor Switch Replacement

    First is the Transmission Range Sensor Switch the same as the neutral safety switch? I'm getting a P0709 code and a transmission light intermittently. I tried moving the shifter back and forth 100 times like some one suggested to clean the switch contacts but it did not fix it for long.

    Where is the switch located and is is hard to replace?

    Seems to be a bit pricey where is the best place to buy one?

    Once I get under the car I will try cleaning the connection first, any other suggestions?

    Thanks

    Next question would be is it a possible an adjustment. I see the cable goes into the slot and not sure if its a determined point it gets locked down on or if its adjustable, anyone now how to adjust the switch?

    Hello Billy....I have a similar intermittent problem with my neutral safety switch on a 04 z4 3.0i. Typically ( not very time) the gear symbol will display but with restart it will go away and run fine. Occasionally I may take the 3rd crank to clear the symbol.
    How did you resolve your issue?
