I need to replace a starter relay on my sx230. Prices are allover the place on these. For those that have replaced, did you go OEM or aftermarket?

I bought an aftermarket (SBT) voltage rectifier and it was nothing but trouble, two of them didn't work and the third worked but seemed to run hotter than expected. What should have been a one day fix turned into several weeks.

Go OEM

I have bought and installed both. I have bought two after market ones on amazon. One lasted a few years and one lasted a few weeks. It's a fair amount of work to replace and I would recommended that you go with oem.

Thanks guys. I was leaning towards OEM simply because of the hassle to replace it.
