Quick facts

- Fits: 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee
- Material: plastic, metal
- Condition: New
A failing neutral safety switch can show up as an engine that will not crank in Park or Neutral, or one that cranks in other gears. If a failed switch is the cause, this one replaces it. First, look over the connector and harness with the engine off for damage, corrosion or a loose plug, since a poor connection can look the same.
Fits
