Good To Know

Q: How do I know the relay is the problem and not the starter? A: A relay that clicks without cranking, or stays silent when the start button is pressed, usually points to failed internal contacts. Testing for voltage at the starter terminal while cranking confirms whether the relay is passing current.

Q: Does this relay need any wiring changes to install? A: No, it uses the same terminal arrangement as the OEM relay, so it connects to the existing harness and battery cables directly. Always disconnect the battery before swapping the relay.

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