2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Alternators and Starters

Relays are electrical switches used to convert a small electrical load into a circuit capable of handling a high amperage load. Computers and small switches are not designed to carry the higher amperage requirement of a circuit that may have an electric motor, solenoid, or high amperage lighting fixture. Within a relay are contacts that are controlled with electromagnetism, when the circuit switch commands the device on or off, magnetism will pull or release the contact arm closing or opening the contacts within the relay that carry the voltage.

Product Features:

• Product constructed to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Computer-Aided Design (CAD), laser scanning and 3D printing – utilizing Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA) – in the part design process ensures speed-to-market and a precise fit guaranteed.
• Where applicable, robust circuit board design increases durability due to heat, shock, and random electro-magnetic pulses (EMP) and power spikes.
• Tin plated lead frame prevents corrosion and ensures a reliable terminal connection under adverse ambient conditions.
• 100% thermo-shock and vibration tested to ensure superior performance in extreme conditions.
• 100% end-of-line tested to ensure accurate signal output providing product reliability, every time.

Litens Automotive is the original equipment supplier for the 2013-current Dodge 1500 / Ram 1500 with 3.6L (220A). This replacement pulley is also designed and produced by Litens and is exact in all form, fit, and performance characteristics as the original equipment part. Decoupling pulleys are engine specific and should never be interchanged with other types of pulley technology. The Litens OAD type pulley is designed to free-wheel in one direction and, with an internal spring and damping device, softly engage in the opposite direction. The OAD is designed as a sacrificial part of the front-end accessory drive system, protecting other belt driven component as well as the alternator. The correct decoupler pulley ensures smooth, quiet performance as well as increasing vehicle gas mileage. Litens is the world’s largest supplier of original equipment (O.E.) power transmission products. At Litens, we design systems that are more efficient, resulting in tangible fuel economy/emissions benefits. Litens holds over 2000 patents and continues to respond to the ever-changing automotive industry by investing heavily in new technology, facilities, and people. 90% of our line is made of products coming from the OE manufacturer, which makes the Litens Tensioning Products portfolio the purest OE tensioning line in the North American aftermarket.

Product Features:

• Designed and engineered by Litens Automotive. The inventor of the “OAD” (overrunning alternator decoupler).
• Patented Original Equipment Design
• Protects the alternator and other front-end accessory drive components
• New cap included with the OAD
• Installation instructions included

Modern vehicles may have 100 or more electrical harness connectors in every operating system of the vehicle. Terminal tension may weaken with time or corrosion may occur within the connector housing making replacement necessary. When replacing any harness-connector assembly approved wire termination methods must be followed to ensure a successful and long-term solution to the original problem is made. A failed terminal connection, terminal corrosion or damaged wire will result in an electrical system fault.

Product Features:

• Carquest electrical connectors meet or exceed OE wire gauge, insulation, and terminal material requirements.
• WVE electrical connectors meet or exceed OE wire gauge, insulation, and terminal material requirements.
• Product constructed to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the manufacturer.
• OE specified wire gauge to ensure a reliable electrical connection
• Designed to meet or exceed OE specifications in form, fit and function
