If houses were built like cars, you would have to remove the doors and carpet, just to replace a light bulb.

[@bridgetlg]

Thank you for your thoughts on the little things and why. Well done

[@josejimenez6152]

Good Job

[@user-dk7bz6zj6n]

Thank you for the video. I'm going to do this for a job.

[@peterstoltz3296]

Good video I have a 2016 ford escape se ecoboost 4wd and I'm trying to change the the starter also but I'm having issues with getting the bottom bolts off so my question is do you pull down to the ground on the bolts or push up to the sky to loosing them ???thank you please 🙏 respond 🙏 😔

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Good question. Pull down to the ground. Lefty loosy righty tighty 👍

[@peterstoltz3296]

Thank you very much. Me and my brother was agreeing about which way to go, my brother was push up to the sky and I was down to the ground..

[@jeffdeyoung56]

What's the thermostat

[@jeffro3273]

Great video! I wonder why this needed replacing with only 60,000 miles. I put 205,000 miles on my 2013 Escape 2.0, using it for years at 5-10 stops per day, being in sales. Guess I should replace it now??

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Hey Jeffro, it's hard to predict the life of a starter motor. Typically they last a long time. I'd say if yours isn't giving you any signs that it's pooping out I wouldn't worry about it. Now that I say that it will probably die on you next week lol. I would stay away from remanufactured starters and you can get the OEM from rockauto.com. that's where this one came from.

[@viciousfox359]

Yeah 63,000 on mine and I've gotta replace it😡 nothing's built to last at all anymore, and then they make it super difficult to do yourself

[@dachicagoan8185]

I wonder if Ford can design their vehicles to make this task more difficult

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Ha yeah, These smaller Ecoboost engines can be a chore to work on sometimes.

[@mannyalby750]

You ain’t seen nothing. Wait til your blower motor fails🙄

[@juliebays9060]

2013 Ford escape 2.6 Battery will not stay charged,Possible starter issue draining battery????

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

The starter only gets power once the relay is activated. It has no ability to draw from the battery when the ignition is off. The easiest way to check if the relay is staying partially activated is to pull the starter relay and leave it out. If the drain goes away then I would suspect a bad relay or a fault in the circuit turning on the relay. If the drain remains then I would look elsewhere for the problem.

[@CRM08]

Is there a difference between a starter and a starter motor?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Hey CR, typically they are synonymous for the same thing. The starter consists of two major components, the motor and the solenoid. In the past on some cars the motor and solenoid were separate and could be changed one or the other. Now most cars have the motor and solenoid as one unit and they must be changed together. Whether you call it a starter motor or just a starter most mechanics will be picturing the same part so either name works.

[@CRM08]

@@ValleyMobileAutomotive got it, thanks!

[@LikeButtahApparel]

Would a bad starter cause a “starting system fault” error message?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Yes, it most definitely can. It's still a good idea to confirm it's the starter and not something else in the starting system. This is a mediocre video of how to diagnose the starter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYeZgWSspcaSotU Let me know if you have any questions 👍

[@jeremyreynolds1633]

What size was the bolt?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

The main bolts are 13mm. The big power wire is 13mm and the small wire is 10mm.

[@allaboutsteve88]

What about the actual bolt mount dimensions? Some how the bolts on ny starter popped off.

[@nwv1121]

Broo I have this car just to get the battery out it’s fucking insane !!! First time with a ford and I hate it what should be 10 mins turned into 1hr and half

[@musharrofhossain4735]

Totally wrong way . My one is 2013 1.6l but starter in different place. I open everything as per your video then I mad because the starter was not that place.

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Hmm that's interesting 🤔. If you go under the vehicle and take off the cover where is your starter located?

[@richsweeney1115]

Well.... Every other escape of this generation has the starter where he said it is.....1.6 and 2.0

[@stevenvillafuerte7536]

This video is terrible! You show the parts AFTER they’ve been removed lol how do you expect us to learn if you do not even show the action that you performed

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Good point, showing the action being performed would have made this better. You quickly learn how making KZbin tutorials is not that easy lol. Thanks for the input 👍

[@shawnhr338]

great video👍 I swear alot so I would remove alot of video 😅 shoe box. Built the vehicle around the starter 🍻
