Get the starter cranking with strong, full-power current using the Standard Ignition Starter Solenoid SS-392. This 12-volt solenoid is the high-current switch that connects battery power to the starter motor and engages it when you turn the key. It drops in for a wide list of compact applications, including the 1986-1987 and 1989-1991 Chevrolet Sprint [L3-1.0L], the 1992 and 1998-2000 Chevrolet Metro [L3-1.0L, L4-1.3L], the 1990-1997 Geo Metro [L3-1.0L, L4-1.3L], the 1994-1998 Pontiac Firefly [L4-1.3L], the 1995-1999 Suzuki Esteem [L4-1.6L, L4-1.8L], the 1985-1995 Suzuki Samurai [L4-1.3L], the 1982-1985 Suzuki SJ410 [L3-1.0L, L4-1.0L], and the 1995-2000 Suzuki Swift [L4-1.3L] — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
- Full battery power: polyester-insulated magnet wire, cadmium-plated copper discs and solid contact bolts help reduce voltage drop and guard against electrical overload.
- Heavy-duty copper contacts: designed to reduce the effect of arcing and extend solenoid life.
- More pure copper windings: more copper windings than found on most vehicles to create a stronger magnetic field.
- Pure copper terminal studs: reduce resistance to permit higher current flow, even in hot environments.
