Keep your starter circuit switching safely with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS-96. This switch installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2001 Chevrolet Cavalier [All] and 1997-2001 Pontiac Sunfire [All], working in the starter circuit so the engine cranks only when the transmission is in Park or Neutral.
Copper alloy conductors: deliver superior electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
100% tested: verified for both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
Robust build: a durable design and high-grade materials for demanding service use.
Connection details: a rectangular design with 2 female connectors and 10 male blade terminals, rated 12V, using bolt-mount attachment.
Mechanically, the neutral safety switch signals the starter to operate only in the intended gear positions. If a failed switch is the cause of an engine that cranks in any gear, or one that won't crank in Park or Neutral, this replaces it—diagnose the circuit before ordering. Gaskets and mounting hardware are not included. Country of origin: Taiwan.
