Been having intermittent problems all summer with the neutral light not lighting when I first turned on the key. The engine would start if I pulled in the clutch though. Once the engine started, the indicator light would illuminate and work OK. I tracked the problem down to a loose connection behind the starter; the plug was connected, but just barely. Suggest you all do a quick check of this; it only takes a second.

Was that the connector to the neutral "sensor" that was loose?

(not that I have one on the S2 - just curious)

Check the wiring harnesses that are just below the battery. There is a molex connector that goes to the Neutral sensor. If it's dirty or unseated it causes this problem. It happened to me earlier this year.

i've had the same thing going since spring! i must admit that i have'nt done a damb thing about it however. it seems that if i turn it off for a little while 20-30 min., when i turn it back on the neutral light is there and she fires right up! will fix before i put her away though.

Oh....I guess I did post this. Anyway, it's a single wire connection that comes from the switch (not the switch itself) and is just a snap-in fit. Should take about 10 seconds to check it.
