Designed to signal when the transmission is in neutral, the Standard Ignition switch NS-197 is a neutral safety switch built with copper alloy conductors and tested for both mechanical and electrical switching performance. It fits many Nissan models, among them the 1980-1985 Nissan 720, 1980-1983 Nissan 200SX and 1979-1983 Nissan 280ZX, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
A neutral safety switch tells the vehicle's circuits when the transmission is in its neutral position, so the systems that depend on that signal can work as designed. If a worn or failed switch is behind an intermittent or missing neutral signal, NS-197 replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this neutral safety switch do?
It signals when the transmission is in its neutral position, so the vehicle circuits that rely on that signal can operate as designed.
Will the Standard Ignition NS-197 fit my 1980-1985 Nissan 720?
Yes. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1980-1985 Nissan 720, and it also fits the 1980-1983 Nissan 200SX and 1979-1983 Nissan 280ZX. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for every listed application.
How is this switch tested?
Standard Ignition tests 100% of its parts to verify both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
What are signs a neutral safety switch may need replacing?
An intermittent or missing neutral signal, or a damaged switch connector, can be signs. Wiring faults can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the circuit before replacing the switch.
What should I know before installing this switch?
Disconnect the battery first, inspect the connector and wiring for damage, and follow the vehicle service information for removal, installation and any adjustment.
