Installation Notes

Confirm connector style, terminal layout, and mounting point before installation. This Walker Products 590-1010 solenoid uses a black rectangular female connector, two blade terminals, and a single mounting hole, so matching the original part configuration is important for proper fitment. Verify the vehicle build date on 2012 applications, since several listings are split by production date.

For search and catalog reference, this part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-201 and Gates VVS117 for the same application.
