Standard Ignition NS-118 Neutral Safety Switch

Neutral Safety Switch for Saturn

Standard Ignition NS-118 is a neutral safety switch built for Saturn compact cars from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s. It uses durable materials, copper alloy conductors for strong electrical flow, and full mechanical and electrical testing to help restore proper starting circuit operation.

Key Features

• Neutral safety switch for Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, and SW2 applications
• Robust construction for service use
• Copper alloy conductors for low-resistance electrical transfer
• 100% tested for mechanical and electrical switching performance
• 3 connectors with female, female, and male terminals
• Blade terminal design with 6, 2, and 2 terminal counts

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition NS-118 is a direct-fit neutral safety switch for Saturn models including the SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, and SW2. It is engineered for vehicles that need reliable transmission-range signaling so the starter circuit only operates in the proper gear position. This part number, NS-118, is built with high-grade materials and copper alloy conductors to support consistent electrical performance in daily service.

This part cross-references Standard Motor Products (e.g., NS220, NS5526) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Engine no-crank condition when the shifter is in Park or Neutral
• Intermittent starting caused by worn internal switch contacts
• Incorrect starter engagement from a failing range switch
• Transmission position signal issues affecting starting circuit operation
• Electrical switching problems in Saturn neutral safety switch circuits
