Starter motors are essential components that engage the engine’s flywheel to begin the combustion process. Common failure symptoms include clicking sounds when turning the key, slow cranking, or complete failure to start. When starters fail, it’s typically due to worn brushes, solenoid issues, or internal electrical problems after years of use.
