Starter Issue


Recommended Posts

had to turn key 3 times before car would start this morning. i think starter is about to die.

dealer part ($250..??) or use after market autozone part ($155).

Does it matter?

Thanks.

Starter contacts need to be replaced. ;)

Did the engine crank? Or just "click"?

It just clicked. Hasnt happened since that day. Dont know what happened. Just wanted an idea of cost so i can start putting money together for it now. Thanks

dcfish was correct...

starter got worse and worse and I took to my mechanic. He said no need to replace starter, just the contacts. I think he screwed me a bit by charging $200 for parts/labor but i couldnt wait any longer. all I needed was to get stranded...especially since I had to turn the key 7-8 times coming out of a bar at 3am the previous night

thx fish

No prob, I went through the same thing. PITA, Missed a day of work, But better than replacing the starter.Happy to hear that it was a simple fix.:cheers:
