Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-167
Help keep the engine from being started in gear with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-262, which tells the vehicle's electrical system when the transmission is in neutral. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2010-2018 Nissan Frontier, 1988-1995 Nissan Pathfinder and 1997 Nissan Pickup, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Signs a neutral safety switch may need replacing include an engine that won't crank, cranks only intermittently, or cranks when it shouldn't. Because the battery, starter or wiring can cause similar symptoms, diagnose the cause first. If the switch is at fault, NS-262 replaces it. Engine details and the full vehicle list are on the Buyer's Guide tab.
