What is the Starter Motor?

Signs You Need a Starter Motor Replacement

The starter motor is critical for starting your car. When you turn your key, the starter motor turns over the engine. To do this, the starter motor sends air to the engine, causing combustion. When the starter motor fails, your engine will not turn over and your car will not start.

Signs You Need a Starter Motor Replacement

If you try to start your car and the engine fails to turn over, there are two common reasons this may occur. One is a bad starter motor and the other is a dead battery. If the lights are working, the issue is probably due to a bad starter motor.

Sometimes you may notice it takes more than one turn of the key to start your car. In this instance, the starter is failing. If this happens, your car needs a starter motor replacement.

Common symptoms of a bad starter motor.

  • Clicking Sounds

    When you turn the key to start the car, you may hear a series of clicks. This is an indication that the starter is getting electricity. However, the motor is not reacting.
  • Buzzing Sounds

    If you hear a buzzing sound, when the key is turned, the motor is getting electricity. However, there is not enough current to activate the motor. This could be due to a bad starter, corrosion, or a bad battery. If the battery needs to be replaced, we can take care of that too.
  • Grinding Sounds

    A grinding noise often means that the starter motor is loose, and you need starter motor repair. It may also be a sign that the flywheel or pinion gear is damaged.
  • Whirring Sounds

    If you hear a whirring noise, this can be an indication that the starter solenoid has failed.
