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.
- Quality control: Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products and maintains complete quality control through every stage of manufacturing, from componentry to the finished product.
- Copper alloy conductors: Chosen for superior electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- 100% tested: Every switch is tested to verify both its mechanical and its electrical switching performance.
- Robust design: High-grade materials are selected to meet the stringent demands of today's service professional, backed by decades of research and development focused on technicians' needs.
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 in the "Vehicles it fits" section.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a neutral safety switch do?
It tells the vehicle's electrical system when the transmission is in neutral. It is part of a circuit designed to help keep the engine from being started in gear.
Is NS-262 the right Pickup switch for a 1997 Nissan Pickup?
Yes. The 1997 Nissan Pickup is a listed application for this direct-fit replacement, and the "Vehicles it fits" section shows the engine details.
Is this the right Pathfinder switch for a 1988-1995 Nissan Pathfinder, and does it fit a 2010-2018 Nissan Frontier?
Yes. It is listed for the 1988-1995 Nissan Pathfinder and the 2010-2018 Nissan Frontier. The "Vehicles it fits" section shows every listed vehicle.
How is the switch built and tested?
It uses copper alloy conductors for electrical conductivity with low resistive losses. Each switch is 100% tested to verify its mechanical and electrical switching performance.
What are signs this switch may need replacing?
Look for an engine that won't crank, cranks only intermittently, or cranks when it shouldn't. Battery, starter or wiring faults can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first.
