Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch P/N:NS-96
Designed to let the engine crank only in Park or Neutral, the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-628 is an electrically operated, direct-fit replacement for a damaged original switch. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2010-2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2008-2016 Chrysler Town & Country and 2009-2019 Dodge Journey. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
A neutral safety switch completes or interrupts the starting circuit based on the gear selector position, so the starter is intended to engage only when the transmission is in Park or Neutral. If a worn or damaged switch is the cause of a no-crank condition, or of an engine that cranks in gear, this direct-fit replacement for the listed applications is designed to restore the neutral safety lockout.
Signs this switch may need replacing include the engine not cranking in Park or Neutral, cranking only after moving the shifter, or cranking with the selector in a drive gear. Check the starting circuit first, as a weak battery, starter or wiring fault can cause similar symptoms.
