Solenoid (Slam) button?

Trashman · 04-29-2012, 10:34 PM

Whats your opinion on the use of a slam switch on a 2004 starter solenoid. I found a couple of post on the site but was looking for any pro/con updates. Considering putting one on the dog for the just in case moments!
Thanks,

Yea, looks straight forward just replacing the solenoid cover and maybe some adjustments to the plunger. Do you have to pull your 12volt spade connector when you use the button?

I recently installed one on my 04 Pitbull for a backup and I agree very simple install , I bought it from usamotoman for 61 dollars .

I dont even know what a 12 volt spade connector is so I would have to say no,lol but the key on and hit the on button the push the slam button..

There is no downside to having one. Plug and play, no need to touch the spade connector.

They are great! I really wish they made one for the 05 up with the DSSC.

Moespeeds · 04-30-2012, 05:15 PM

BTW for an '04 all you should pay is $20. '05 and up for DSSC are more expensive, $60 I think.

Looking to put one on mine .... always good to have a back up

05 old dog · 04-30-2012, 07:45 PM

Trashman · 04-30-2012, 10:17 PM

Moespeed, where did you find one for $20.00?? Cheapest I've seen is about $61. and some change.

Remind me again where I can get one for my 08 Ridgeback as a backup plan.
