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
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle year and model before installation. Fits 1995-2002 Saturn SC1, Fits 1995-2002 Saturn SC2, Fits 1995-2002 Saturn SL, Fits 1995-2002 Saturn SL1, Fits 1995-2002 Saturn SL2, Fits 1995-2001 Saturn SW2, and Fits 1995-1999 Saturn SW1. For 1994 Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, and SW2, fitment applies from VIN RZ141472. Confirm connector style and terminal layout match the original switch before replacement.
Quality Assurance
Standard Ignition validates this switch through mechanical and electrical testing before release. The brand’s long-running development focus on technician needs is reflected in the NS-118’s construction and conductivity-focused design.
