Detailed Description

Denso reman starters are built around the company’s long OE electrical-component background and the Mitsubishi OE family design used in this application. During remanufacturing, critical electrical and mechanical parts are tested, renewed, and validated so the starter delivers consistent cranking torque and dependable operation. The Denso 280-4100 is a practical replacement choice for Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, and Nissan Pickup models that require a 12V, 1.4 kW clockwise starter.

This part cross-references Bosch SR2265X for the same application.

What This Starter Helps Address

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start conditions caused by starter failure
• Intermittent starter engagement
• Electrical wear at terminals or internal contacts
• Cold-weather starting complaints

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify voltage, rotation, power rating, and connector/fitment details before installation. Confirm the vehicle application against the listed Nissan Frontier, Xterra, or Pickup model year and inspect battery condition, cables, and charging-system output to avoid repeat starter failure. Always compare the removed unit to the replacement starter before mounting.

Quality Assurance

Each remanufactured starter is subjected to testing and replacement procedures that include high-voltage checks, commutator refinishing, replacement of wear items, and final bench testing. This process is used to support consistent performance and low return rates in the replacement aftermarket.
