Keep the starter locked out until the clutch pedal is pressed with the Standard Ignition Clutch Starter Safety Switch NS-314, a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1997 Volkswagen Passat, the 1997-1998, 2000 and 2002 Volkswagen Jetta, and the 1999-2001 Volkswagen Golf. Standard Ignition lists this switch as both a clutch starter safety switch and a cruise control release switch.
A clutch starter safety switch is designed to let the starter circuit close only when the clutch pedal is depressed. A cruise control release switch signals the cruise system to disengage when the pedal is pressed. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete engine-level fitment.
- Controlled from start to finish: As a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products, Standard Ignition maintains complete quality control throughout production, from componentry to the finished switch.
- Copper alloy conductors: Provide strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- 100% tested: Every switch is checked to verify both its mechanical and electrical switching performance.
- Robust build: High-grade materials and decades of research and development are aimed at the needs of the professional technician.
Signs this switch may need replacing include an engine that won't crank with the clutch pedal fully pressed, a starter that engages without the pedal pressed, or cruise control that doesn't release when the clutch is pressed. Diagnose the cause first, because other starting or cruise components can produce the same symptoms.
