The direct ignition coil is a transformer that converts voltage. Every vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine has one. In case of failure, the entire coil needs to be replaced.

The ignition coil is cylindrical in shape and is easily accessible; it is not a complicated operation and can be done by yourself. Once located, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and the connector by removing the screw that secures the coil.

For installation, position the new ignition coil and secure it with the screw, reconnect the connector and the negative terminal of the battery.
