Changing a Car's Starter

Car starter is a mechanical key to start the car and therefore considered to be the essential part of any vehicle. If starter fails to work you cannot start your vehicle. When you try to start the car, a charge is sent to the starter from battery and then to the alternator but if you are having trouble while starting your car that means starter is not performing its task. So, it is time to replace or change the starter. To change the starter is not that simple but with the help of given directions you can change it quite easily:

Items Required

The things you are required to change the starter are:

-    Car Starter
-    Duct tape
-    Tools
-    Ratchet set
-    Wrenches
-    Car jack
-    Flood light
-    Marker (for labeling the cables)

Directions to Follow

Prepare

Apply the park brakes and place wedge or logs behind the rear tires. Place the jack on a specified place on the front below of the vehicle and lifts the car up. Detach the negative terminal cable from the battery carefully. While doing this task try to avoid any electrical contacts.

Locate the starter

Location of starter varies according to vehicle. Locate the start position in your vehicle. It may be located on the driver's side. It is an eight inch long tube with five to six inch in diameter with two electrical and one fixed connection.

Detach the Connections

Now is time to remove the connections. You can remove the electrical connections with the help of hand by pulling them gently but for mounting connection you need an appropriate wrench or ratchet. Remove the electrical connections and mark the cables with indication labels; which help you to connect the cables with right connectors later. Now take a wrench or ratchet and remove the mounting connection. It is bit hard to unfasten this connection sometimes, be sure not to apply too much force lest you would damage it.  

Once you have done, take the old starter out.
Installation (New Starter)

Once you have done with removing the old damage starter, take a new starter and replace it. Make sure that you have installed the new starter at right place and correctly. Connect all the electrical cables in perfect order to avoid any major damage to your engine. Fix the mounting connection back with the help of wrench.

Reconnect the negative terminal cable to negative connector of the battery.

Verification

In the end recheck all the connections once again and when you are sure that everything is in its perfect place, try to start the engine. The smooth starting of the engine will verify the worth of your work.
