Installation & Replacement Notes
Replacement is straightforward for a competent technician: disconnect the negative battery terminal, safely raise the vehicle if required, locate and unplug the starter wiring, unbolt the starter from the bellhousing, transfer any brackets if needed and install the new unit in reverse order. Verify electrical connections are clean and secure, then test crank the engine. Always follow vehicle manufacturer safety procedures and torque specifications when tightening fasteners.
Common Failure Modes & Maintenance
Starter motors typically fail due to worn brushes and commutators, solenoid faults, gear wear or contamination from oil and coolant leaks. Symptoms include slow cranking, repeated clicking, grinding noise or intermittent starting. Lifespan depends on duty cycle and driving conditions but commonly ranges from approximately 100,000 to 200,000 km.
