🔧 What Does the Starter Do?

The starter is a small but powerful electric motor that cranks your engine when you turn the key or press the start button. It connects to your battery and ignition system — and without it, your engine won’t run at all.

🚨 Signs Your Starter May Be Failing:

1. Clicking Noise When Starting:
   You hear a click but the engine doesn’t turn. Classic starter issue.

2. No Sound at All:
   Battery is fine, but you get silence. Likely the solenoid or starter motor.

3. Intermittent Starting:
   Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. This is a major red flag.

4. Smoke or Burning Smell:
   Could mean your starter is overheating or shorting out.

5. Dashboard Lights On, But Engine Won’t Turn:
   Battery is alive, but no ignition — often points to starter failure.

✅ Starter or Battery? How to Know:

• If jump-starting doesn’t help, it’s likely not the battery.

• If lights and radio still work, battery has power, so starter is suspect.
