This part cross-references 1S5101 and DR4069 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• No-crank condition when the clutch pedal is pressed
• Intermittent starter engagement on manual-transmission vehicles
• Starter circuit interruption caused by worn switch contacts
• Electrical switching issues at the clutch safety interlock
• Starting problems related to damaged connector or terminal interfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal layout, and vehicle fitment before installation. Confirm the clutch pedal switch location and inspect the harness connectors for corrosion, looseness, or heat damage before connecting the new part. After installation, test starter engagement and clutch interlock operation to confirm proper switching.
