    i just aquired a 1995 thunderbird and discovered that the neutral light works when cold and does not work when the bike is hot. So it could be a duff connection or an intermitent switch. Can any one tell me where the thing lives as i cant find it or any reference to it in the servivpce manual.

    I have never had this issue with mine, I will look at the wiring sheet for the thunderbird to see what could cause it.Sounds strange:confused:

    very common. sensor on left of motor near the water pump single wire coming from it. think it a grey/white wire
    Remove the copper washer to let it in further but use thread sealant to stop it leaking.
