BlueStars 12V Starter Solenoid Switch 1013609 for Club Car DS/Precedent — OEM-fit, 180°C Potted Coil

BlueStars 1013609 is a direct-fit 12V starter solenoid designed to replace worn relays on Club Car DS, Precedent and Carryall models, restoring reliable starter engagement.

This replacement starter solenoid is built to match OEM fit and electrical specs so your golf cart or utility vehicle starts when you need it to. Designed with a potted 180°C coil, copper contacts, and a flame-retardant ABS housing, it swaps in quickly for the original 1012275 / 1013609 units and cross-references from several manufacturers. Below you'll find clear answers to common buyer questions about compatibility, installation, and performance.

Will this solenoid fit my Club Car model and year?

Yes — the BlueStars 1013609 is compatible with a wide range of Club Car vehicles. It fits Club Car DS models from 1984–2007, Precedent models from 2004–2008, and Carryall series from 1992–1997. Always compare the part shape and terminal pattern to your existing unit before ordering.

• Cross-replaces Club Car part numbers 1012275 and 1013609.
• Also matches aftermarket references: STENS 435-154, NIVEL 1117, Arrowhead LPL6003, J & N 240-20013.
• Fits model years: 1984–2008 across listed Club Car lines.
• Four-terminal layout and isolated ground mirror many OEM installations.

How difficult is installation and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable working on small electrical components. This is a pull-and-replace job in most carts: disconnect the battery, remove the old solenoid, and transfer wiring to the new unit. If you have basic hand tools and follow safety steps, you can complete it quickly.

• Recommended tools: wrench set for 5/16"-18 and #10-32 threads, screwdriver, and safety gloves.
• Battery disconnect required before touching terminals to avoid shorts.
• Match terminal threads: battery and motor terminals are 5/16"-18 UNF; switch and ground are #10-32 UNF.
• Confirm four-terminal arrangement and isolated ground before finalizing installation.

What electrical specs and materials ensure durability?

The BlueStars solenoid uses heavy-duty materials and precise specifications to deliver consistent operation. Copper windings and contacts provide low-resistance conductivity while a 180°C enamel-coated coil maintains performance under heat. The ABS housing resists environmental wear to prolong service life.

• Voltage: 12V; coil resistance: 12Ω for reliable pull-in strength.
• Battery & motor terminals: 5/16"-18 UNF; switch & ground: #10-32 UNF.
• Potted coil rated to 180°C with anti-oxidation copper contacts.
• Flame-retardant ABS plastic housing protects internal components from oil, dust, and moisture.

How will this solenoid affect my cart’s starting performance?

Replacing a worn solenoid with the BlueStars 1013609 restores effective power transfer from the battery to the starter motor, reducing voltage drop during cranking. The efficient electromagnetic design helps ensure the starter engages quickly and then disengages cleanly once the engine turns over.

• Improves current flow to starter, reducing power loss during cranking.
• Reliable disengagement prevents unnecessary starter motor wear.
• Potted coil and solid contacts maintain consistent magnetic pull over time.

Who is this for? The BlueStars 1013609 12V starter solenoid is intended for DIY owners, fleet maintainers, and repair shops working on Club Car DS, Precedent and Carryall vehicles who need an exact-fit electrical replacement. Choose this solenoid if you require OEM-style terminal layout, high-temperature coil protection, and a corrosion-resistant housing that holds up to outdoor use. If you’re unsure about fitment, compare terminal thread sizes and cross-reference part numbers before purchase.
