Starter problem
After 17 years and 133k miles my red box’s starter has started to choke.
First symptom: out of nowhere, right after I came home from a drive, turned off the car, then realized I had one more thing to do, therefore was going to start up the car again to go back out but nothing happened. No start.
At first I thought it was the battery since it’s 5 years old. But a health check turned negative.
I had seen in the movies to tap the starter solenoid but never tried it. Well it worked.
I ordered a rebuilt Denso started from Rockauto which will arrive in 2 days.
The swap seems pretty straightforward but I’ll find out in a few days.
Any tips to make the swap easier?
