Product Details

MPA Electrical 3263S is a remanufactured starter intended for vehicles that use a permanent magnet gear reduction unit with a 12-volt electrical system.

This part cross-references Anchor 3263 for the same application.

The Part Number 3263S is also referenced against OE-style numbers including 93BB-11000-KA and F3RZ-11002-C for application matching.

Common Starting System Issues

• No-crank condition when the ignition is turned
• Intermittent starter engagement
• Slow cranking from a worn starter motor
• Grinding or improper drive engagement from a mismatched tooth count
• Starting failure caused by incorrect rotation or voltage specification

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original starter specifications before installation, including 12-volt operation, counterclockwise rotation, 1.5 kW output, and 22-tooth drive count. Confirm the application by year, make, and model for Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, or Mercury Cougar before replacing the unit. Inspect battery condition, cable connections, and charging system output during diagnosis so the new starter is not installed into an unresolved electrical fault.
