Make sure your automatic transmission only cranks when it's safely in Park or Neutral with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch NS766. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1998 and 2014-2017 Volkswagen Beetle, 2012-2016 Volkswagen CC, 2015 Volkswagen Golf, 2015-2017 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2015 Volkswagen Passat.
If those symptoms are present, diagnose the starting circuit and shifter linkage before replacing, since the same signs can have other causes. When the original switch is confirmed faulty, NS766 installs to restore the intended starting interlock function.
