Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier, N/A. Fits 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra, N/A. Confirm 12-volt electrical system requirements, clockwise rotation, and 1.4 kW specification before installation. Inspect battery condition, cable ends, and charging-system output during replacement to avoid repeat starting issues. Verify the original starter match against the vehicle’s OE reference and mounting configuration before final installation.

Quality Assurance

Denso remanufactured starters are processed with high-voltage testing, component replacement, refinishing, and final bench testing to verify performance before release. The remanufacturing approach also reuses serviceable materials, reducing waste while restoring starter function to OE-level expectations.
