Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-167
Help prevent the engine from cranking while the vehicle is in gear with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-115, which allows the starting circuit to close only when the gear selector is in Park or Neutral. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1996-1999 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1996-1999 Chrysler Town & Country and 1997-1999 Dodge Avenger, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details and the full list of vehicles.
Standard backs this switch with decades of research and development focused on meeting the technician's needs.
Signs this switch may need replacing include no crank in Park but a crank in Neutral (or the reverse), a no-crank condition that changes as the shifter moves, or cranking with the selector in a drive gear. A weak battery, starter or ignition switch can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the neutral safety switch has failed, the NS-115 replaces it.
