Help keep the starter from engaging unless the transmission is in Park or Neutral with the Standard Ignition switch NS-212, a neutral safety switch designed to control when the starting circuit is allowed to close. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2011-2012 Ram 1500, 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2006-2010 Dodge Charger, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
- Fully tested: Every unit is 100% tested to verify both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
- Copper alloy conductors: Provide superior electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- Robust build: A robust design and high-grade materials meet the stringent demands of today's service professional.
- OE ignition expertise: Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products and keeps complete quality control from componentry to finished product, backed by decades of research and development focused on what technicians need.
Signs a neutral safety switch may need replacing include an engine that won't crank in Park, one that cranks only in Neutral or only after moving the shifter, and intermittent no-start conditions. A weak battery, starter or wiring fault can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a failed switch is the problem, the NS-212 replaces it.
