My grid heater relay went bad on my 06. I need to replace it but i would rather replace it with a ford starter solenoid. Ive seen it mentioned that this is fairly common due to the cost of the ford part vs a dodge relay. Does anyone have a part number or a vehicle that i can tell the parts guy im looking for. God forbid you dont know exactly what vehicle the part your looking for came from. Will any old ford starter solenoid with 4 posts (insulated) work? I would assume any solenoid that can carry enough current to turn the starter would also be able to run the grid heaters?

 

i dont see why the ford solenoid wouldnt work ive used that solenoid on boats and farm tractors and they worked fine
