Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-167
Standard Motor Products
Standard Ignition NS-520 neutral safety switch for the 2005-2014 Volkswagen Jetta and other vehicles allows the starter to engage only when the transmission is in park or neutral. It is a direct-fit, electrically operated replacement for damaged OE units, made to OE spec for fit, form and function.
A car that will not crank in park or neutral, or that cranks while in gear, can mean the neutral safety switch is worn. A weak battery, a tired starter or misadjusted shift linkage can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying a switch.
This switch is listed for a wide range of Volkswagen, Audi and MINI models, including the 2016-2019 Volkswagen Passat and the 2014-2019 Volkswagen Tiguan, and each takes one. If your car is not named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
