Questions & Answers

Do you have any information about the unit's electrical specifications?

12 VDC is the voltage applied to the coil. The solenoid is used on many Ford vehicles as a starter. The riding mower on which I own one as well. I like this starter solenoid much better than the small one that came with On my truck, I also use them for the hydraulic lift gate. Given that a starter can consume 50 amperes or more, I would assume that it is capable of handling much more

How do the solenoids SS581 and SS581T differ from each other?

It's a universal starter solenoid / relay that's easy to install and can be used by Johnson, Kubota, Ford and more. As a result, both starter solenoids work on the same principle / installation dimensions *br>But the difference lies in their cover position, with the SS581T being a cotton surface and the SS581 being It is OK if you have to come back after the event We offer return and replacement service regardless of the In the case of all our products since the corresponding purchase date, we provide 1 years of warranty. You are welcome to contact me if the product is damaged due to shipping or installation. We will send you a new one at no cost to you.

There are three individual wire connections on the starter solenoid, or are there four?

A 4-inch diameter cup should be used Instead of a 3-pin, use a 3-pin wire One of the two small connections should be ground on the wire. It may be marked by a degree of clarity. In this case, the two smaller connections are connected to two of the larger connectors via the coil which engages the relay.

The solenoid is positive ground, is it not?

A negative ground is what it is. In 1966, I put it on a

Do not buy junk
3/5

It is a waste of both time and money. It took 20 minutes to install this clunker and was unable to engage with 12 volts supplied to it. This is a garbage product. Do not buy.

We found the solenoid to be defective when we received it
3/5

Take a look- Come on out! The two of us are connected. We found the solenoid to be defective when we received it. Take a look- Come on out! I immediately connected the battery to my vehicle and the starter began turning. Thank goodness the coil was disconnected, otherwise the engine would have started and the starter would have stayed All my wiring has been double checked and a test meter has been used to get the system's temperature. There was a problem with the solenoid being stuck in the closed position (enabling the starter to be energized as soon as the to a quality auto parts store and spend your money there.

An obsolete solenoid was found on a 69 Mustang Something else should be purchased
3/5

Considering it is the cheapest version from SMP, it is obvious that the quality is subpar. Once the ground was connected to the solenoid, it started by itself. I took the starter apart and installed the solenoid. It would start even though there was no key turned on, all electrical circuit breakers were turned off and it turned over. What I found out was that it is stuck in the closed position, which means the S post does not function and the STARTER post is always on. You'd be better off getting a high-quality solenoid rather than wasting money on a cheap one. For just a few more dollars, I was able to get a Motorcraft from another vendor. The weight of that one is noticeably greater, and it works very well. A 1969 Mustang with a 351W is on the road.

You should be cautious when buying! DESTRUCTION OF STARTER WILL OCCUR
3/5

It is best to be wary of the buyer. The cost of this item was about $11, but I would have paid at least $100 for it. Connecting this to the battery terminal and turning the key in the ignition started the car without my key. As the engine was running, I had the starter on as well. As soon as I disconnected the negative cable, all was well. My initial thought was that I connected something incorrectly, but I was correct. I tested this unit with a voltage reader, and the battery terminals are closed. In other words, the unit has a fault. Due to how difficult it is to mess up on a solenoid, I am deeply disappointed.

Right away, the failure occurred
3/5

Knowing that I was ordering a potentially risky product from the reviews, I knew what my risk was. In my opinion, it was easy to install (it is a solenoid, so it isn't as complicated as it sounds). As soon as I started the engine, it started fine. However, when I tried to turn it off, it wouldn't go off. When I tried stopping the engine with the battery disconnected, it did not Since I work on old vehicles a lot, I knew what was going on, but a less-experienced mechanic would have had no idea It is possible for an experienced person to * * - The following are some important technical issues As a reminder The grade for this is 4 In addition, this solenoid provides 12 volts to your ignition circuit so you can start your vehicle more easily. Your ignition system is designed to operate on 6 volts, so leaving it with 12 volts across it for a long time can damage the coil. It is normal for 12v to be applied only when starting the engine to make the plugs spark hotter and start the engine quicker. The best choice for you would be to spend a few dollars more and get one that is a nationally recognized brand (like AcDelco) and reduce your It was delivered fast and worked at least once. I am giving them two stars specifically because it worked once.

It seems this product is defective
3/5

During research on this product, I found that 27% of the reviews said the starter turned on automatically. In my view, this is an anomalous occurrence, so I ordered the operators to try it again. A HUGE MISTAKE on your part! Exactly. The device had to be connected in order to work. This is a piece of crap that you should not order.

I am on at all times! Purchasing this solenoid in January of 2016 was a smart purchase
3/5

Apparently the issue was the same for those who installed it yesterday. All terminals are permanently connected internally and the starter begins instantaneously after the cable is plugged in. This must have been a bad batch for Standard in 2016's first quarter.

Brittle housing has caused this item to break
3/5

This housing is made of really brittle plastic, so it cracked when I tightened the S post. I didn't even use that much torque at all. In any case, I tried it anyway, and it did not engage as it sounded like a rattlesnake instead of clicking.
