Starters

Cranking your vehicle's engine seems like a simple process, but it's actually pretty complex. There are many components that play a central role here, but the starter is one of the most important. The battery delivers electrical energy to the starter, which turns the engine over, allowing it to crank. Starters are electromechanical devices and will eventually wear out and need to be replaced. Over time, the teeth on the starter gear will wear down, allowing it to slip, although you may not notice it until the problem becomes pronounced. It's also possible for the starter solenoid to fail. When either of these situations occurs, you'll need to replace your starter with a genuine OEM part. Signs of a failing starter include hearing a clicking noise when you turn the ignition, as well as the dash lights coming on but the engine failing to crank. Because the starter is such a critical piece of equipment, it's recommended that you have it tested regularly along with the charging system. When it comes time to replace it, insist on genuine Mopar parts. OEM parts are made specifically to fit your vehicle and offer better durability.
