Detailed Description

MPA Electrical 19438N is a replacement starter engineered for vehicles that use a Nippondenso-style starting system. The permanent magnet gear reduction design helps deliver efficient cranking performance in a compact starter layout, while the 12-volt, 1.2 kW specification matches the electrical requirements of the listed applications. This starter is a fit for Jeep Wrangler, Chrysler Town & Country, and Dodge Grand Caravan applications, along with select Volkswagen Routan and Chrysler minivan platforms. If you are replacing a worn starter on a 2006-2011 Jeep Wrangler or a 2006-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan, 19438N provides the correct rotation, tooth count, and electrical rating for the application.

Common Replacement Reasons

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original starter’s rotation, tooth count, voltage, and mounting style before installation. Confirm vehicle application by year and model, especially on Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Volkswagen platforms that may use multiple starter configurations. Inspect battery condition, cable connections, and charging system output during replacement to avoid repeat starting issues. Part number 19438N should be matched to the listed fitment and OE cross-reference numbers before installation.
