Three symptoms indicating a defective starter: Tips for troubleshooting starters and alternators

Approaches to searching for the cause of the failure

A starter malfunction can have different causes: Perhaps the electrical connections are faulty. A stiff or defective magnetic switch (engaging relay) could also be a possible cause. To be on the safe side, also check the electric motor for damage and take a close look at the single-pinion gears, starter pinion or freewheel. For the starter to function successfully, it must have a fault-free supply of power. Therefore, as part of the fault diagnosis, check the vehicle battery and the positive and ground supply of the starter.
