Standard Ignition SS-386 Starter Solenoid

Standard Ignition SS-386 is a 12-volt starter solenoid for select Nissan applications. It uses a female connector, three male terminals, and a stud-and-blade terminal design for direct electrical switching in the starting circuit.

Key Features

• 12-volt starter solenoid for charging and starting system service
• Female connector with 1 connector interface
• 3 terminal design with stud and blade terminal type
• Black and gold color/finish with dichromate and plastic construction
• Compact 1.87-inch overall length

Application Details

This starter solenoid is compatible with 1993-1995 Nissan Altima, 1993-1994 Nissan Sentra, 1988-1992 Nissan Sentra with California emissions, and 1989-1990 Nissan 240SX. It is a direct-fit electrical component for Nissan Altima, Nissan Sentra, and Nissan 240SX starting system repair where the original solenoid uses the same connector and terminal layout. This part cross-references Spectra Premium ST332 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• No-crank condition when the starter circuit does not engage
• Intermittent starter engagement caused by worn internal contacts
• Electrical switching issues at the starter solenoid connection
• Starting system faults on Nissan Altima, Sentra, or 240SX applications
• Corrosion or heat-related failure at the solenoid terminals

Installation Notes

Verify connector gender, terminal count, and terminal style before installation. This SS-386 starter solenoid does not include mounting hardware, a mounting bracket, or a spring. Confirm the vehicle uses a 12-volt starting system and, for 1988-1992 Nissan Sentra, confirm California emissions fitment before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies replacement electrical components for starting and charging system service. SS-386 is built with a dichromate and plastic finish and is specified for the listed Nissan fitments.
