Product Details

Denso Reman Starter 280-4188 is part of the Denso Reman Starter line, which focuses on remanufactured electrical components built around OE-style engineering. For this application, the starter is bench-tested after remanufacturing and uses replaced wear items plus tested internal electrical components to support consistent cranking performance. This part cross-references Bosch SR4507X for the same application. It fits 1999-2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara, N/A, and 2002-2004 Suzuki XL-7, N/A. If you are replacing a failing starter on a Suzuki Grand Vitara or Suzuki XL-7, part number 280-4188 provides a direct remanufactured replacement option.

Common Starting Problems It Can Address

• Engine no-crank condition
• Slow or weak cranking
• Intermittent starter engagement
• Clicking at key start
• Starting issues caused by worn internal starter components

Installation Notes

Verify 12-volt system requirements, clockwise rotation, and OE-family match before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year and model for Suzuki Grand Vitara and Suzuki XL-7, and inspect battery condition, cable connections, and charging-system output during replacement. Always compare the original starter mounting and electrical connection points to the replacement unit before final installation.

Quality Assurance

Denso remanufactured starters are processed with testing and replacement steps that include high-voltage checks on armatures and field coils, commutator refinishing, replacement of terminals and fasteners with copper components, and final bench testing for factory-original performance. The remanufacturing approach also supports material reuse and reduced waste.
