The JEGS 555-97999 switch handles two jobs on console-shifted 1964-1968 Pontiac and 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass models: it keeps the engine from cranking unless the automatic transmission is in park or neutral, and it switches on the back-up lamps in reverse. This is the correct switch for cars built with a floor console and a Dual Gate shifter, where the switch mounts on the shifter assembly instead of on the transmission or steering column. An original switch that has gone bad shows up as no-crank complaints, cranking in gear, or back-up lamps that stay dark.

• Fits 1964-1968 Pontiac GTO, LeMans, and Tempest, 1965-1968 Pontiac Grand Prix, Catalina, and Bonneville, 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass
• Combines neutral safety and back-up lamp switching in a single unit
