Standard Ignition NS-518 Back Up Light Switch

The Standard Ignition NS-518 back up light switch is a direct-fit electrical switch for select Volkswagen applications. It uses a black plastic finish, a female connector, and two male blade terminals to help restore reverse light operation when the original switch wears out or fails.

Key Features

• Back up light switch for reverse lamp circuit control
• Black face color with plastic finish
• 1 female connector interface
• 2 male blade terminals for electrical connection
• Direct-fit application for select Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Passat, and Corrado models

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition NS-518 is built for Volkswagen vehicles that use a bolt-on style back up light switch, including 2000-2006 Volkswagen Golf, 2004 and 2000-2002 Volkswagen Jetta, 1995-1998 Volkswagen Jetta, 1995-1999 Volkswagen Golf, 1995-1997 Volkswagen Passat, and 1995 Volkswagen Corrado. This NS-518 switch is a practical replacement when the reverse lights stop working due to a faulty transmission-mounted switch or intermittent electrical contact. This part cross-references Standard Ignition NS6736 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Reverse lights that do not illuminate when shifting into reverse
• Intermittent back up lamp operation
• Electrical switch failure at the transmission
• Warning issues caused by a worn reverse light circuit switch
• Fitment problems when replacing an OE-style Volkswagen back up light switch

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal layout, and vehicle application before installation. The NS-518 uses a female connector with two male blade terminals, so matching the existing harness and transmission switch design is important. For Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Passat, and Corrado applications, confirm the original switch mounting style and compare the old part number before replacement.
