I have installed many solenoids and isolators and recently tried this one. I installed this one and after 2 days of use the top of the unit (the small circular disc on the top) blew apart and the plunger popped up and grounded the battery against the housing - this started an electrical fire in my engine compartment, luckily I was able to get the fire out and pull the solenoid plunger out fast enough to prevent further damage. This product is extremely unsafe and you risk starting a fire in your vehicle, which could lead to a forest fire, house fire or even death. The problem is that the top of the unit is not crimped or welded on properly, which can cause the solenoid to pop up and fall back down grounding our power source. I will be letting Amazon know that they are selling a dangerous product. Of note, I am an experienced mechanic and showed this failure to two other mechanics - none of us have ever seen this happen to a solenoid before. It is hard to imagine a product could be make with such low quality.

I paid over $100 for the nearly identical solenoid about 15 yrs ago. Laid side by side, I can't see a difference, and if these last as long as the old one, they're a heck of a deal. My only complaint is that they (ordered 2) were shipped loose in a flat rate box. They were packed with an "airbag" which couldn't stand up to the terminals and deflated at some point. There were numerous holes in the box from the terminals, but the solenoids survived. A testament to the physical durability of these solenoids. Buy em!
