Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch Connector P/N:S-1516
Give your neutral safety switch a clean, factory-assembled connection to the vehicle wiring with this Standard Ignition switch connector, part number S-723. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1989-1997 Ford F-150, 1989-1997 Ford F-250 and 1995-1996 Ford Explorer. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury applications.
The neutral safety switch is designed to let the starter engage only when the transmission is in Park or Neutral. This connector provides the electrical link between that switch and the vehicle wiring. Signs the original connector may need replacing include a cracked housing, a broken locking tab, and corroded or heat-damaged terminals. If a damaged connector is the cause of an intermittent no-crank condition, the S-723 replaces it. Diagnose the cause of a no-start before replacing parts.
