Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How can I confirm this starter fits my vehicle? A: Compare part number 17994 and the listed engine sizes against your old starter before ordering. Serial number and production changes can affect fit on these models.

Q: What else should I check if the engine will not crank? A: Battery condition, cables and grounds are common causes of no-crank faults, so test them before replacing the starter. If they check out, the starter motor is the likely culprit.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
