Information
How does the starter work?
The starter motor is an electric motor with a solenoid switch, which powers a vehicle so that it will turn over and start. Once the engine starts, a key-operated switch opens. A spring in the solenoid assembly then pulls the pinion gear away from the ring gear and causes the starter motor to stop.
How do I know if the starter needs to be repaired?
If the car won’t start, and it isn’t the battery, there’s a good chance that it’s the starter or the solenoid. If the starter makes a gravelly or strange noise, it may need to be rebuilt or replaced. If the solenoid is not working, then no power will be sent and it will need to be repaired or replaced.
What are my options?
Vehicles can be taken to an automotive repair shop, or an owner may be able to perform diagnostics and repair or replacement. There are numerous automotive websites that advertise repair services, and others sell parts. Other vendors offer free DIY instructions, and service manuals and how-manuals can also be purchased online.
