Dawn, 1999 Jetta neutral position switch or the starter interlock relay is up under the dashboard on a panel full of relays, may have to remove the lower dash trim. Should see it through the gap between the fuse panel and the dashboard.
Jetta equipped with manual transmission, the relay position is third from the left on the upper row and auto transmission equipped, the relay is third from the right on the bottom row. Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
