Check out a Haynes manual for this. I believe the neutral safety switch is located on or near the trans, or else behind the clutch pedal itself.

Thanks for the info. Will try that this weekend..waldo
Most all problems w/ Celicas or Corolla's not starting in cold weather is from 2 floor mats, one frozen solid so clutch can't be fully extended. May also be frozen switch.
I just changed my girlfriends switch, it was bad and mine has been acting up. so I bought a new one. I noticed yesterday when I went to change it that the carpet was pushed up so I pulled it back. put my back out trying to change the switch so I stopped. just read this, so I just went out to try starting it with the carpet out of the way, started right up jeez.
