Product Details

Part Number 12393 is a remanufactured starter engineered for vehicles that use a Mitsubishi-built, permanent magnet gear reduction unit. The 1.4 kW output, 12-volt specification, clockwise rotation, and 9-tooth drive help match the original starting system requirements on the Nissan Pathfinder and INFINITI QX4. This starter cross-references BBB Industries 17683 for the same application.

Compatible With 1997-2000 INFINITI QX4 and 1996-2000 Nissan Pathfinder starting system applications, Part Number 12393 is a practical replacement when the original starter no longer turns the engine reliably. It is also referenced by OE and aftermarket numbers including 23300-0W010 and 23300-0W011.

Common Issues This Starter May Address

• Engine cranking slowly or inconsistently
• No-start condition caused by starter failure
• Clicking sound when turning the key
• Intermittent starter engagement
• Starter motor wear in high-mileage vehicles

Confirm fitment for your exact Nissan Pathfinder or INFINITI QX4 year before replacing the unit, and inspect battery condition, cables, and connections to avoid repeat starting issues. Part Number 12393 should be installed on applications that match the listed Mitsubishi starter configuration.
