Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-167
Help keep your starter from engaging unless the transmission is in Park or Neutral with the Standard Ignition switch NS-373, a neutral safety switch for the 2004-2006 Mitsubishi Montero and the 1999-2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The neutral safety switch sits in the starting circuit and responds to the gear selector position. It is designed to let the starter engage only in Park or Neutral. Signs this part may need replacing include an engine that won't crank in Park, cranks only in Neutral, starts intermittently, or cranks while in gear. Other starting-circuit faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a failed neutral safety switch is the cause, this replaces it.
