Keep your Nissan's engine from cranking unless the clutch is fully depressed with the Standard Ignition Clutch Pedal Position Switch / Neutral Safety Switch, MPN NS-272. This starter-interlock safety switch drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX, 1993-1999 Nissan Sentra, and the 1991-1993 and 1995-2012 Nissan Tsuru — listed under both the Clutch Pedal Position Switch and Neutral Safety Switch names because it is the same part.
Because those symptoms can have other causes in the starting circuit, diagnose the fault before replacing; if the original switch is confirmed faulty, installing the NS-272 replaces it. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct installation and adjustment procedure.
