Description

Designed to keep the starter circuit open until the clutch pedal is pressed, the Standard Ignition Clutch Starter Safety Switch, part number NS-147, is the pedal-actuated switch in the starting system of a manual-transmission vehicle. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2001 Ford Explorer, 1998-2011 Ford Ranger and 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.

The clutch pedal operates this switch, which lets the starter engage only when the pedal is depressed. This helps prevent the engine from cranking while the transmission is in gear.

Quality control throughout: Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products and oversees quality from componentry to the finished product.
Copper alloy conductors: Provide strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
100% tested: Each switch is checked to verify both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
Robust design: Built from high-grade materials to meet the stringent demands of today's service professional, backed by decades of research and development focused on the technician's needs.

Signs this part may need replacing include:

The engine won't crank with the clutch pressed.
The vehicle has an intermittent no-start.
The starter engages without the clutch depressed.

Diagnose the starting circuit before replacing parts.
