Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-167
Standard Motor Products
Help keep the engine from cranking unless the transmission is in Park or Neutral with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-358. It is a direct-fit replacement for many Hyundai and Kia applications, among them the 2003-2009 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson and 2005-2010 Kia Sportage.
The neutral safety switch reads the gear selector position. It lets the starter circuit close only in Park or Neutral. Signs this part may need replacing include a no-crank condition in Park while the engine still cranks in Neutral (or the reverse). Another sign is a no-start that changes when you move the shifter. If a failed switch is the cause, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the starting circuit first, because other components can cause the same symptoms.
See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of vehicles and engine details.
