I never use that switch for neutral, I wire the neutral wiring to the clutch position switch on the pedal, so that when the pedal is depressed, it thinks it is in neutral, thus cutting off the cruise control when you push in the clutch...plus you have to press the clutch to start it, just like a factory set-up should be....but the cruise control works fine this way.
