Get the crank you're missing — the Standard Ignition Starter Solenoid SS-412 is the electromagnetic switch that engages your starter when you turn the key. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1992-1996 Honda Civic (L4-1.5L, 1992-1995; L4-1.6L, 1992-1996), the 1993-1997 Honda Civic Del Sol (L4-1.5L, 1993-1995; L4-1.6L, 1993-1997), and the 1992-1995 Honda Prelude (L4-2.2L and L4-2.3L).
When energized, the solenoid pushes the starter drive toward the flywheel ring gear and closes the high-current contacts that route battery power to the starter motor.
- Electromagnetic switching: energizes on the key/ignition signal to engage the starter circuit.
- High-current contacts: carry the heavy battery current the starter motor draws during cranking.
- Direct-fit design: intended to install on the listed Honda applications.
If a failed solenoid is the cause of a rapid clicking, an intermittent no-start, or a starter that won't engage, this replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as these symptoms can also come from the battery, cables, or starter motor.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number SS-412 (also SS412).
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a starter solenoid do?
It's an electromagnetic switch that engages the starter when you turn the key, pushing the starter drive toward the flywheel and closing the high-current contacts that feed the starter motor.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1992-1996 Honda Civic, 1993-1997 Honda Civic Del Sol, and 1992-1995 Honda Prelude. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine codes.
What are signs the solenoid may need replacing?
A rapid clicking when turning the key, an intermittent no-start, or a starter that won't engage can be signs. Diagnose the cause first, since the battery, cables, or starter can cause the same symptoms.
What engines does the SS-412 cover?
The listed applications use the L4-1.5L, L4-1.6L, L4-2.2L, and L4-2.3L engines. See the Buyer's Guide tab to match your exact year and engine.
Could a no-start be something other than the solenoid?
Yes. A discharged battery, corroded cables, or a failed starter motor can also cause a no-start, so diagnose the cause before replacing this part.
