Starters

Your Ford's engine starter, or what is commonly referred to as a starter motor, is engaged when you turn your car key in the ignition or compress the push-button start. It is the mechanism that turns, or "cranks" your engine over to begin the combustion process through the spark plugs and other various engine components.

If you've ever turned the key in your car and noticed a lack of sound, it could be a dead battery. If you experience an odd clicking noise when starting, it may be the starter motor going bad. You will know it is a starter issue if you attempt a jump-start and it fails, or if you attempt to start and all the lights in your dash are functioning properly. The clicking noise is a misfiring of the starter motor pinion, attempting to crank the flywheel.

On average, Ford starters can last all the way up to 150,000 miles. Car starters can experience corrosion or faulty components within the starter housing. If you begin to experience car starter complications, seek a professional inspection from a Ford technician near you to diagnose the issue.
