The Denso 280-5316 reman starter is a 12-volt, clockwise-rotation starter built for Ford OE applications that demand consistent cranking performance. It is a remanufactured electrical component for drivers needing a direct-fit starter for select Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models.

Key Features

• 12.0-volt starter with clockwise rotation
• 1.4 power rating for OE-style starting performance
• Remanufactured Denso starter built for Ford OE applications
• High-voltage tested armature and field coils
• Refinished commutators with performance validation
• Premium copper terminals for stable electrical current
• New bearings, brushes, and seals

Product Details

Denso reman starters are rebuilt through a controlled test-and-replacement process that focuses on electrical integrity, current transfer, and bench-tested output. The 280-5316 follows Denso First Time Fit remanufacturing standards and is engineered to deliver factory-original starting performance for Ford OE applications. This part cross-references Bosch SR7567X and Remy 28709 for the same application.

Compatible With 2000-2007 Ford Taurus, N/A; 2000-2005 Mercury Sable, N/A; 2003-2005 Mercury Sable, N/A; 2001 Mercury Sable, N/A. The Denso 280-5316 is a practical replacement choice when the original starter shows wear, slow cranking, or intermittent engagement on these vehicles.

What It Helps Fix

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

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify voltage, rotation, and OE application before installation. Confirm the starter mounting style and electrical connections match the vehicle’s original setup. Inspect battery condition, cables, and charging-system output during replacement to avoid repeat starting issues. For fitment verification, use the vehicle year, make, and model details listed above.

Quality Assurance

Denso remanufactured starters are bench-tested after remanufacturing to confirm output and performance. The brand’s long OE supply history and reman process support consistent starting performance for select Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable applications.
