Product Details and Specifications

The SS-279 starter solenoid from Standard Ignition features a robust design with a dichromate and plastic finish that resists corrosion and wear. It operates at 12 volts and includes three terminals—two male stud and blade types and one female round connector—ensuring compatibility with the electrical systems of Dodge Ram 50, Ford Ranger, Mazda 626, and Mitsubishi Mighty Max models. This solenoid is not rated for continuous duty, aligning with typical starter motor engagement cycles. The absence of included hardware allows installers to use existing or preferred mounting components.

  • Ensure battery is disconnected prior to solenoid replacement to prevent electrical hazards
  • Use appropriate tools to connect male stud and blade terminals securely
