Product Overview
When the start button produces a click but the engine does not crank, the relay may have burned contacts after battery strength, grounds, cables, safety switches, and starter current draw are checked. This relay carries battery current to the starter on the listed Arctic Cat applications.
The same style is also used on certain Suzuki 500 ATVs, but terminal position and the control connector must match. Reversing the battery and starter cables or overtightening the studs can damage the replacement.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Match model, year, 2x4/4x4 application, control plug, stud positions, mounting bracket, and the original relay shape. Model year, production date, serial number, trim, engine, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I bypass the relay to test it? A: High-current bypass testing can arc and cause injury or vehicle damage; use a meter and the service-manual test procedure instead.
Q: What if the relay chatters rapidly? A: Rapid chatter usually points to low battery voltage, poor cable connections, or a weak ground rather than the relay alone.
Q: What should I compare before ordering? A: Match model, year, 2x4/4x4 application, control plug, stud positions, mounting bracket, and the original relay shape.
Q: Is this supplied by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers identify fitment only.
Package note: One 12V starter relay is included with terminal hardware only when pictured.
