Dorman’s OE FIX solenoid provides an economical alternative engineered to the correct dimensions and electrical specifications so you can replace just the solenoid and restore proper operation when fitting and installation are correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Subaru models and years will this solenoid fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Dorman solenoid is made to fit a range of Subaru models across multiple years.
