Stop your engine from cranking in gear with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-284. This 12V switch drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications — the 1996-1997 Acura SLX [All], 1994-1997 Honda Passport [All], 1993-1997 Isuzu Rodeo [All], and 1990 Isuzu Trooper [All]. A neutral safety switch (also called a park/neutral position switch) permits starter operation only when the automatic transmission is in Park or Neutral. If a failed switch is the cause of an engine that won't crank in Park or Neutral — or one that cranks in other gear positions — this replaces it.
