Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-167
Help keep the engine from cranking while the car is in gear with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-277, a Honda Civic switch that fits the 2001-2005 Honda Civic. The neutral safety switch reports the gear selector position to the starting circuit and is designed to let the engine crank only when the selector is in Park or Neutral.
Signs this part may need replacing: the engine won't crank in Park or Neutral, it cranks only after the shifter is moved or wiggled, or starting is intermittent. The battery, starter or ignition switch can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If a failed neutral safety switch is the cause, NS-277 replaces it.
