Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-136
Keep your Audi cranking only when the transmission is in Park or Neutral with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-339. This park/neutral position switch drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2000 Audi A4 and A4 Quattro, 1997-2000 Audi A6, A6 Quattro, A8 and A8 Quattro, 2000 Audi S4, and 2001-2003 Audi S8.
A neutral safety switch tells the starting system the selected gear so the engine can only crank in Park or Neutral, an important safety interlock. If a failed switch is the cause of your no-crank-in-Park or, more seriously, an engine that cranks while in gear, this replaces it.
