Standard Ignition SS-258 Starter Solenoid

Starter Solenoid for 12V Starting Systems

Standard Ignition SS-258 is a 12-volt starter solenoid built for electrical starting system service. It uses a 300 amp amperage rating, a stud-and-blade terminal layout, and a compact 2.02-inch body for direct replacement work on vehicles that use this style of solenoid.

For technicians searching for a starter solenoid for Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla starting system repair, SS-258 provides a straightforward replacement option. The black and silver aluminum/plastic housing, male terminals, and spring-included design support clean electrical connection points in a compact package.

Detailed Product Overview

This starter solenoid is used in the starting circuit to switch high current to the starter motor when the ignition signal is applied. SS-258 is a direct-fit style electrical component for service work where the original solenoid uses a 12V setup and a stud-and-blade terminal arrangement. Standard Ignition SS-258 is also referenced by part numbers 4142558, SS647, ST647, and STSB1071 for the same application.

When replacing a starter solenoid on Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or other vehicles using this configuration, matching terminal style, voltage, and mounting layout is critical. The SS-258 part number should be verified against the original unit before installation.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• No-crank condition when the ignition key is turned
• Intermittent starter engagement
• Clicking at the starter without engine rotation
• Electrical switching failure in the starter circuit
• Worn or heat-damaged solenoid terminals

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm 12-volt system requirements, terminal count, and stud-and-blade orientation before installation. Inspect battery cables, starter leads, and ground connections at the same time, since poor connections can mimic solenoid failure. Verify the replacement matches the original solenoid dimensions and terminal layout for the vehicle application.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies electrical replacement parts for starting and charging system service. SS-258 is built with aluminum and plastic materials and a spring-included design for service replacement use.
