Keep the starter locked out unless the transmission is in Park or Neutral with the Standard Ignition NS-622 Neutral Safety Switch. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2013 Hyundai Tucson, 2011 Kia Sorento, 2011-2013 Kia Sportage, and the 2012 and 2014 Kia Sedona. This electrically operated switch replaces a damaged OE unit and is designed to restore the neutral safety lockout on the listed applications.
What it does: The neutral safety switch reports the transmission position to the starting circuit, so the starter is enabled only in Park or Neutral. This helps keep the engine from cranking while the vehicle is in gear.
Signs this part may need replacing: the engine won't crank in Park, cranks only in Neutral, or cranks only some of the time. A weak battery, wiring faults, or a failing starter can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If a failed neutral safety switch is the cause, NS-622 replaces it.
