Product Overview
A single click with no crank, intermittent starting, or heat at the solenoid can mean burnt internal contacts—but weak batteries, loose cables, corroded grounds, a locked starter, or a failed brake or neutral interlock are just as common. A voltage-drop test can separate the solenoid from the rest of the starting circuit.
The solenoid uses a low-current control signal to connect battery power to the starter motor. Match the two large studs, dual-pin plug, bracket, wire polarity where specified, and original number; a clicking relay is not proof that its high-current contacts are good.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Model, production date, serial number, electrical or fuel-system version, dimensions, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original part and application information before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If the solenoid clicks, is it definitely working? A: No. The coil can click while burnt internal contacts fail to pass enough current to the starter.
Q: What if jumping the solenoid still does not crank the engine? A: Check battery capacity, cables, grounds, starter motor, and mechanical engine condition before replacing more relays.
Q: How do I confirm fitment before ordering? A: Match the original reference number where available, then compare the removed part, dimensions, connections, mounting details, model, serial or production information, and package photos.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
