Standard Ignition Clutch Starter Safety Switch P/N:NS-63
Help keep your truck's starter from engaging unless the clutch pedal is pushed in with the Standard Ignition Clutch Starter Safety Switch, part number NS-146. It is a direct-fit replacement for these listed applications: the 1997-2003 and 2005-2008 Ford F-150, the 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage, and the 2006-2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
The switch is designed to complete the starter circuit only when the clutch pedal is depressed. This helps keep the engine from cranking while the transmission may be in gear.
Signs this part may need replacing include an engine that won't crank with the clutch fully depressed, an intermittent no-crank condition, or a starter that engages without the clutch pressed. Diagnose the starting circuit before replacing the switch, because other components can cause similar symptoms.
