Is there any way to bench test a neutral safety switch? Mine was never hooked up by PO and I'm currently replacing my harness so no way to test on rig.

Thanks

Yep, the two Red w/blue wires should show zero ohms when in Park and Neutral, and the two (edit: ) Black w/red wires should show the same when in Reverse only.

You can do somewhat the same with a battery and test lamp if you don't have a volt-ohm meter. But every Bronco owner should have a volt-ohm meter!
If you don't have one yet, this is a good excuse.
