Standard Ignition Clutch Starter Safety Switch P/N:NS-253
Help keep the starter circuit tied to the clutch pedal with the Standard Ignition Clutch Starter Safety Switch NS-267. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2002-2006 Jeep TJ and the 2002-2006 Jeep Wrangler. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
This clutch starter safety switch is designed to let the starter crank only when the clutch pedal is pressed. That safeguard helps prevent the vehicle from starting in gear with the pedal released. If a failed clutch safety switch is the cause of your no-crank condition, this unit replaces it.
Signs this part may need replacing: the engine does not crank with the clutch fully depressed, or it cranks only intermittently. A weak battery, a faulty relay, the starter itself, or damaged wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the starting circuit before replacing the switch.
