Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-167
Help keep the engine from cranking unless the shifter is in Park or Neutral with the Standard Ignition switch NS-135, a neutral safety switch for the starting circuit. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1995 and 1997-1999 Toyota Corolla, the 1997-2000 Toyota RAV4, and the 1999-2000 Lexus ES300.
The neutral safety switch reads the position of the gear selector. It allows the starter circuit to engage only in Park or Neutral, which helps prevent the engine from being started while the transmission is in gear.
Signs this part may need replacing: The engine won't crank in Park but cranks in Neutral, or the reverse. The engine fails to crank intermittently. The engine cranks while in a drive gear. Other starting-circuit faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If a failed neutral safety switch is the cause, the NS-135 replaces it.
Fits: 1993-1995 Toyota Corolla; 1997-1999 Toyota Corolla; 1997-2000 Toyota RAV4; 1999-2000 Lexus ES300. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
