Quick facts

- Fits: 2011-2015 Ford Explorer and other vehicles
- Material: Plastic
- Condition: New
A worn neutral safety switch can show up as an engine that will not crank in Park or Neutral, or one that cranks while in gear. If a worn neutral safety switch is the cause, this one replaces it. Before ordering, look over the connector and wiring with the engine off for damage, corrosion or loose bolts, since a bad plug or wire can also keep the engine from cranking. Each vehicle takes one switch, and this listing is one.
