Standard Ignition NS-342 Neutral Safety Switch

Neutral Safety Switch for Chrysler and Dodge

Standard Ignition NS-342 is a neutral safety switch built for transmission range sensor applications on select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles. It uses a female connector, 3 male pin terminals, and a single connector layout for a direct electrical interface.

Built with copper alloy conductors and tested for mechanical and electrical switching performance, this NS-342 neutral safety switch is made for service work where accurate transmission position signaling matters. It is a practical replacement for Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Caravan, and Plymouth Voyager applications, among others.

Key Features

• Neutral safety switch for transmission range sensor applications
• Female connector with 1 connector and 3 male pin terminals
• Pin-style terminal design for secure electrical contact
• Copper alloy conductors for strong conductivity and low resistive loss
• 100% tested for mechanical and electrical switching performance
• Standard Ignition NS-342 replacement part number

Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition NS-342 is engineered for vehicles that rely on a transmission range sensor to communicate gear position to the starting and electrical systems. It is a direct-fit style replacement for a wide range of 1990-1995 Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models, including Chrysler Cirrus, Chrysler LeBaron, Dodge Caravan, and Plymouth Voyager. The robust housing and quality internal materials are intended to support consistent switching action in everyday service conditions.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition applications such as 1S1454 and SW1516 for the same type of repair. If you are replacing a worn or intermittent neutral safety switch on a Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, or Plymouth Grand Voyager, NS-342 provides the electrical interface needed for proper transmission range signaling.

What It Helps Fix

• Engine starts only in certain gear positions
• No-crank condition related to transmission range sensing
• Intermittent starting caused by worn switch contacts
• Incorrect gear-position signal to the vehicle electrical system
• Transmission range sensor faults on select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and transmission range sensor application before installation. Compare the original switch location and electrical connector to the NS-342 to confirm match-up on your vehicle. After installation, check starting operation in Park and Neutral and confirm the transmission range signal is functioning correctly.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition builds this switch with copper alloy conductors and tests each unit for both mechanical movement and electrical switching performance. That combination supports consistent service results on Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth transmission range sensor repairs.
