A neutral safety switch is designed to let the starter circuit engage only when the gear selector is in Park or Neutral. If the original switch has failed, NS-368 replaces it.
Signs this part may need replacing: The engine may not crank in Park or Neutral, or it may crank in only one of those positions. Starting can also become intermittent, or the engine may crank with the selector in a drive gear. The battery, starter or wiring can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch.
