Detailed Product Description

The Standard Ignition SS-796 starter solenoid is a critical component in the electrical starting system of Hyundai Elantra, Kia Soul, and Kia Tiburon vehicles. This solenoid features a female connector with a single connection point and three male terminals that combine screw and blade types, allowing for secure and reliable electrical connections. Measuring 2.21 inches in length, it fits precisely within the designated mounting area using two mounting holes with a lug hole diameter of 0.2 inches.
