Product Details
This MPA Electrical starter is specified for Jeep TJ and Jeep Wrangler models from 2003 through 2006. The permanent magnet gear reduction layout is used to deliver compact starter packaging with controlled cranking performance, while the 11-tooth drive and clockwise rotation match the listed vehicle applications. If you are replacing a worn starter on a 2003-2006 Jeep TJ or 2003-2006 Jeep Wrangler, 17874N provides the core electrical and mechanical specifications needed for direct application matching.
MPA Electrical 17874N is built around Mitsubishi manufacturing specifications and is listed as a New line product. That makes it a relevant choice when you need a starter identified by exact voltage, rotation, tooth count, and output rating rather than a generic universal unit.
Common Issues This Starter Can Address
- Engine cranking slowly or inconsistently
- No-crank condition with a charged battery
- Starter motor clicking without engine engagement
- Intermittent starting on Jeep TJ and Wrangler models
- Wear-related starter drive or internal electrical failure
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm the vehicle year, engine configuration, and starter specifications before installation. Verify 12-volt system compatibility, clockwise rotation, and 11-tooth drive alignment against the removed unit. For best results, inspect battery condition, cable connections, grounds, and the ring gear before installing the new starter on a Jeep TJ or Jeep Wrangler.
