Detailed Description
Standard Ignition NS-492 is engineered for Mitsubishi vehicles that require a neutral safety switch to control starter engagement based on transmission position. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. It fits 2006-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant, and 2004-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer, making it a practical replacement for common no-crank or shift-interlock related concerns. The NS-492 part number is also useful when searching for a Mitsubishi Eclipse neutral safety switch, Mitsubishi Galant neutral safety switch, or Mitsubishi Lancer neutral safety switch replacement.
What It Helps Fix
- Engine will not crank in Park or Neutral
- Starter engages only intermittently
- Transmission range signal issues at the starting circuit
- Faulty neutral position input to the vehicle electrical system
- Wear-related failure in the original neutral safety switch
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector style, terminal count, and bolt-mount location before installation. The switch uses a single rectangular female connector and 10 male blade terminals, so matching the harness and transmission interface is important. Confirm the vehicle is within the listed fitment range before ordering NS-492 for your Mitsubishi Eclipse, Galant, or Lancer.
Quality Assurance
Standard Ignition supplies replacement electrical components for service applications, and NS-492 is built with metal and plastic materials for the specified 12V system use. Always compare the original part number and connector layout to confirm proper application.
