Detailed Description

Standard Ignition CX-17 is an alternator brush set used in charging system service for select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models. This part number appears in applications such as the 1987 Dodge Dakota 78 amp setup, 1985-1987 Dodge Caravan, and 1982-1984 Chrysler LeBaron, along with other Chrysler alternator configurations listed in the fitment data. Standard Ignition states that its starting and charging products use high-grade materials and controlled manufacturing processes to support extended service life.

Use CX-17 when servicing alternators that rely on brush contact to maintain stable electrical output. The 1/4-inch width is an important specification for matching the correct brush set to the alternator design. Standard Ignition CX-17 is a practical choice for owners and technicians working on Chrysler alternator repair, Dodge charging system maintenance, or Plymouth alternator service.

What It Helps Fix

• Intermittent charging output
• Battery warning light concerns related to brush wear
• Low-voltage or no-charge alternator conditions
• Charging instability in older Chrysler alternator systems
• Electrical performance loss caused by worn brush contact

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm alternator amperage and design before ordering, since fitment varies by vehicle and charging-system configuration. This part fits 1987 Chrysler Daytona, 1987 Dodge Dakota, and 1985-1987 Dodge Caravan among other listed applications, but some vehicles require specific alternator types or amp ratings. Match the brush set to the alternator model and inspect the slip rings and related charging components during service.
