Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How can I tell the solenoid has failed instead of the starter? A: A bad solenoid typically produces a single click or complete silence when the start button is pressed, while the starter never turns over. Checking for voltage at the starter terminal during a start attempt will isolate which part is at fault.

Q: Should anything else be replaced while the solenoid is removed? A: Check the battery cables, ground straps, and starter connections for corrosion or looseness while access is open. If those test clean, replacing the solenoid by itself will restore normal starting.

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