Restore safe, reliable starting operation with this Genuine Nissan Neutral Position Switch, designed to suit Nissan Patrol GU Y61 models fitted with a manual gearbox. Screwed into the driver's (right-hand) side of the gearbox top housing toward the rear, this OEM switch communicates the selected gear position to the vehicle's Engine Control Unit (ECU), allowing the engine to start only when the transmission is safely in Park or Neutral.

Electrical failure due to age, wear, or contamination from moisture and dirt is a common cause of switch failure. A faulty neutral position switch can prevent your vehicle from starting at all, or in a worst-case scenario, fail to perform its safety function correctly, creating a dangerous situation where the vehicle could potentially start in gear and lurch forward or backward unexpectedly.

Manufactured to Genuine Nissan specifications, this switch is built from heat-resistant plastics and robust electrical contacts for long-term reliability. It is a direct replacement, making it ideal for resolving no-start issues or restoring your Nissan Patrol to safe, factory operating condition.

Note: Not to be confused with the reverse switch, which is located in front of this switch and has a different plug.
