Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-54
Keep your automatic from cranking in gear with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-328. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2006 Acura MDX and the 2006-2008 Honda Pilot, restoring the gear-position signal that the starting and reverse-lamp circuits depend on.
A neutral safety switch (also called a park/neutral position switch) tells the vehicle which position the transmission selector is in, permitting engine cranking only when the shifter is in Park or Neutral and, on many applications, completing the backup-lamp circuit in Reverse. If a failed switch is the cause of a no-crank condition, intermittent starting, or a backup-lamp complaint, this unit replaces the original.
Signs this part may need replacing: the engine won't crank in Park or Neutral, cranks only when the shifter is jiggled, or the reverse lamps don't respond. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
