Remove the starter only if it fails. To remove the starter:
1. Unlock and open the rear engine door.

If the vehicle has dual batteries, disconnect both
negative battery cables from both negative (-) battery
terminals (17).

3. Remove the red wires (3) from the solenoid stud (4).
Remove the red, positive (+) battery cable (5) from
the starter. Label and disconnect the blue/orange
wire (6) from the starter solenoid housing stud.
Record how the wires are installed to ensure correct
installation later.
4. Loosen, but DO NOT remove, the three fasteners (7)
securing the starter to the flywheel housing. Support
the starter securely, as it is relatively heavy and will
fall if not supported.
5. Support the starter and remove the fasteners
securing the starter to the engine. Remove the
negative (-) ground cable from its starter mounting
bolt (7).
6. Remove the starter (1) from the vehicle.

buss bar (10). Leave the wires (11) connected to the
starter positive buss bar.
2. At the negative starter stud (12), label and
disconnect the negative (-) battery cable (13).
3. For jump start protection, a protective plastic
cover (18) is installed around the starter solenoid
terminal and mounting screw. A removable, tethered
cap (19) allows access to the terminal mounting
screw.
4. Use a small, flat knife blade (20), inserted next to the
cap (19), so that the cap pops out of the protective
cover.
5. Label the blue/orange wire (21) from the starter
solenoid terminal. Use a small phillips screwdriver to
loosen the screw far enough to allow the blue wire to
be removed from the terminal.
6. Loosen, but DO NOT remove, the two fasteners (14)
securing the starter (15) to the flywheel housing.
Support the starter securely, as it is relatively heavy
and will fall if not supported.

the engine.
8. Remove the starter (15) from the vehicle.
d. Starter Cleaning and Drying
1. While the starter is being removed, wipe away any
grease or dirt that has accumulated around the
starter mounting opening.
2. If reinstalling the starter, clean the exterior of the
starter with an approved solvent. DO NOT submerse
the starter or allow the solvent to contact the starter
bushings.
3. Dry the starter with a clean, lint-free cloth.
e. Starter Periodic Maintenance
A starter requires no routine maintenance beyond the
occasional inspection of the electrical connections, which
must be clean and tight. The starter is not serviceable;
replace a defective starter with a new unit.
