Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-167
Keep the starter locked out unless the shifter is in Park or Neutral with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-118, the Saturn SL switch that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1994-1996 Saturn SC1, 1994-1998 Saturn SC2, 1994-1996 Saturn SL, SL1 and SL2, 1994 Saturn SW1 and 1994-1996 Saturn SW2. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The neutral safety switch reports the transmission selector's position to the starting circuit, so the engine is allowed to crank only in Park or Neutral.
Signs this part may need replacing: the engine won't crank in Park or Neutral, a no-start that clears when the shifter is moved, or the engine cranking with the selector in gear. If a failed neutral safety switch is the cause, NS-118 replaces it. Diagnose the starting circuit before replacing parts.
