Keep the safe-start interlock working as designed with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-330, a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2006 Acura TL. The switch senses the transmission's shift position and completes the starter circuit only when the gear selector is in Park or Neutral, which is how the factory safety interlock is meant to operate.
- Safe-start interlock: allows the engine to crank only with the shifter in Park or Neutral, blocking cranking while in gear.
- Position sensing: reads the selected gear position and signals the starter circuit accordingly.
- Direct-fit replacement: made to replace the original neutral safety switch on the listed application.
Signs this part may need replacing include an engine that won't crank in Park or Neutral, or one that cranks while in gear when it shouldn't. Because those symptoms can have other electrical or mechanical causes, diagnose the circuit first to confirm the switch is at fault; if a failed neutral safety switch is the cause, this NS-330 replaces it.
Fitment: 2004-2006 Acura TL. Manufacturer part number NS-330 (also NS330).
