Standard Ignition Clutch Starter Safety Switch P/N:NS-479
Keep the starter locked out until the clutch pedal is down with the Standard Ignition Clutch Starter Safety Switch NS-301, the 2002-2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara switch that tells the starting circuit when it is OK to crank. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
A clutch starter safety switch is designed to let the starter engage only when the clutch pedal is pressed. This helps keep the vehicle from being started in gear.
Signs this part may need replacing: The engine won't crank even with the clutch pedal fully depressed, the starter responds only intermittently, or the engine cranks without the clutch pressed. A weak battery, a faulty starter or relay, or damaged wiring can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the starting circuit before replacing the switch.
