So I was removing the rats nest and I busted the solenoid with the white dot. the first thing that came to mind was Oh S%&T!
I started looking at the other solenoids and was wondering if any of them are interchangable. I'm not with the car now but ther were 3 that were externaly identical even the same number molded into the plastic. any one know if I'd be safe using one of these?

 

Post a "WTB" in the classifieds.

Find a Pick 'n Pull nearby, or some other junkyard.

 

Car is in Green River UT Near by does not exist.
any one know if the parts are identical internaly? If so why get a new one?

 

They are all the same.

 

they just use the "dots" as color coding to help for quick identification and connector hookup. internally the solenoids are identical.

 

I needed something like that a few months ago and what I did was post a WTB in both the regional and national Classifieds, then I went thru the classifieds where guys were parting out a car and I scared up a couple of parts. So I PMed the guys and asked the price and would they be able to overnight ship quickly if I paid for it. I looked at the responses, made a decision, and within 2 days I had my part at a modest cost.

Gad the internet is great!

Sometimes I AM glad that I invented it! Well, me and my buddy Al.

 

awsome replies thanks.
