Handle starter lockout and reverse-lamp switching with one part: the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch / Back-Up Light Switch NS-194. This switch does two jobs. It lets the starter engage only when the gear selector is in Park or Neutral, and it turns on the back-up lights when Reverse is selected. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2000-2004 Dodge Ram 1500, 1998-2004 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1998-1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
- Copper alloy conductors: provide superior electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- 100% tested: every switch is checked to verify both its mechanical and its electrical switching performance.
- Robust build: a robust design and high-grade materials meet the demanding needs of today's service professional.
- Controlled quality: Standard is a global maker of original equipment ignition products and oversees quality from componentry through the finished product. The design draws on decades of research and development focused on what technicians need.
This part is listed under both names: neutral safety switch and back-up light switch.
Signs this switch may need replacing:
- The engine won't crank in Park or Neutral.
- The engine cranks in a drive gear.
- The back-up lights don't come on in Reverse.
Wiring and other components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the circuit first. If a failed switch is the cause, the NS-194 replaces it.
