Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-167
Standard Motor Products
Keep the starter locked out until the shifter is in Park or Neutral with the Standard Ignition switch NS-116, a neutral safety switch for the 1996-1999 Cadillac Seville. It is designed to let the starter circuit engage only when the transmission is in Park or Neutral. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details.
Signs this part may need replacing: the engine won't crank in Park but cranks in Neutral (or the reverse), the engine intermittently fails to crank, or the engine cranks in a gear other than Park or Neutral. A no-crank condition can also come from the battery, starter or wiring, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch.
