Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-136
Get your engine cranking safely again with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-140. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications — the 1993-1997 Nissan Altima and the 1992-1996 Nissan Maxima — restoring the start-system interlock that keeps the starter from engaging while the vehicle is in gear.
A neutral safety switch reads the shifter position electrically and passes that signal to the starting system. Because a no-crank condition can also stem from the battery, starter, or wiring, diagnose the cause before replacing.
