TOYOTA STARTER MOTOR, EZ repair (Corolla Celica truck car prizm Vibe camry T100)

[@hardset-vi3ze]

One of the best, DIY videos i've ever seen. Not a whole lot of non-sense and blah, blah, blag like thousands of others. I don't have time to listen to their BS or stories about their pets or kids, wife, etc. Simple, clear pics and instructions. Please post more vids like this. You are the man!!!!!

[@gbottrain]

Just did this on my '87 Pickup, works perfect. I bought my parts from the Toyota dealer, they even threw in a new hat. Thanks for the video. I love that I didn't have to buy a re-manufactured starter.

[@hesamaskari]

Fixed everything for under 20 bucks and saved hundreds. God bless you and your family. Keep posting good vids :-)

[@chentges211]

The wife and I had one heck of a time removing the starter in the first place; once we got it out we pulled it apart and cleaned it just like you showed us put it back together, bench tested it and it works!!!! Thanks for saving us $100+ dollars thumbs up.

[@maguchen]

my kind of mechanic! repair things, not just replace parts! I love it that you don't even need to replace the contacts. I have sandpaper! love how practical and frugal you are.

[@technicalrob]

I am not a mechanically inclined individual but I got my starter out and did what you detailed and now I am riding around fat, dumb and happy. Thank you. I saved some bucks and got the respect from the lady of the house. Next stop...changing oil in her car...Thanks?? LOL!

[@ItsBrianBurgess]

earltuckian Thank you so much! I was just going to buy a new starter and trade in mine now, and pay a mechanic to do it. But after watching this video to the key, i completely fixed the problem myself in a couple hours! Thank you sooo much! You saved me money, time, and a headache.

[@gaps2420]

Thanks again Jim, you have provided more insight then anyone I have talked to about this for the last month +. My mechanic recommended I not start throwing money at my engine because I didn't know the exact problem yet. It is definitely humidity related. I'll pull up some schematics of my engine and check the plug ins tonight. Thanks Again.

[@jolivre]

Now that is what I call an EXCELLENT video. There's nothing like experience and I'd bet you've done this job more times than you care to remember! This is nice and clear all the way through, pays attention to important detail, and educational and enjoyable even for someone like me who has very limited mechanical knowledge. What's more it concerns possibly saving hundreds on unnecessary repairs with a little careful work of your own which has a real feelgood factor Well done, Jim :)

[@TJTChannel]

Great video! This (replacing the plunger and 2 contacts for $12) worked exactly as in the video for my 1999 Chev Prizm. The most difficult part was figuring out how to get to the top starter bolt - at first I could not even figure out how to see that bolt to get to it ... but I discovered by moving a work light around to a specific spot to the right and towards the cowl I could actually finally see the bolt ... this made it much easier to navigate the 14 mm socket to get on it (with long extension). Worked great - saved me a few hundred dollars - thanks!

[@alextrang6743]

Excellent video. When I call auto parts. They all said no repair kit or solenoid. They convince me buy the starter. Thanks for video save me 110 bucks.

[@earltuckian]

Read text under the video, there are links to buy the parts. Thank you for the compliment and for watching.

[@philtrottier4442]

Great job! I fixed mine for $10 with a kit sold on e-bay. A new plunger and 2 contacts came with the kit.

[@jpeazi]

This video was perfectly accurate! Thanks Jim. I used the Toyota OEM Part Numbers 28226-74070 and 28226-64370 for our 1998 Camry V6. They were $32 total and it took me less than an hour total to fix. Cleaning the plunger contacts with emery or sandpaper is the one tip that I HIGHLY recommend doing as Jim had instructed. Without doing this the repair is basically useless. Our car is starting like it is brand new and it has 178,000 miles on it!

[@xramcam]

You diagnosed my issue exactly on my 95 Celica. I pulled the starter and cleaned the contacts- as I couldn't get a ride to the parts store! Nevertheless, cleaned it really good, reassembled, and it starts like a champ. Thank you!!!!

[@davenarby]

Solenoid would engage but starter failed to crank. Took it off, cleaned it, replaced it, starts fine! Thanks for saving me $70!

[@roberthoward7526]

Excellent video, Jim! Thank-you! And, it is so refreshing to watch a video that is done by a professional without profanity! As for my 1995 Geo Prizm, 1.8, it is kissing 305,000 carefree miles of which I put on 225,000 miles myself. After multiple turns of the key, it finally starts. It started out with 2-3 turns and now is about 20-30 turns, so I think it is time to do some repairs. Glad to find your video and thanks again for your "pay-it-forward" video!

[@hemangster]

thank you for uploading this video. i followed all your steps and everything works fine. Saved me a ton of money.

[@starwarsutube]

Great video! Followed instructions, starts every time now! Just completed changing the copper components on my 1997 Toyota Camry starter. Starts every time now! Thank you for saving my family $500+ by allowing me to do it myself (I have never worked on cars)

[@jdquinitchette]

You described the exact trouble I've been having! My man friend will be greatly helped by this video, since he is an electrical guy who can do engine repair. Thank you!

[@rharrell1]

I replaced the parts in my Toyota Corolla starter and have had no issues thanks for the information. One tip after replacing the parts and reinstalling the starter clean the negative side of the battery cable where it bolts on the car block. If this connection is not clean it may cause an electric arc especially in damp weather.

[@spicyinmyeyesdave]

Thank you for showing me exactly what to do. I would have spent all day taking the starter totally apart and scrubbing every component.

[@TeaJhey]

This worked!! Took about 2 hours all together. Kit from Napa cost me 25$. 4 times cheaper than a new starter. Hardest part was the back bolt holding the starter. After that it was a breeze.

[@andrewBwinter]

An older thread BUT TIMELESS INFORMATION! I just did my 1994 Celica GTS 2.2 and it started first time after clicking for 2 days. Now, to be fair I will need to look into a new set of contacts since the existing ones are grooved and about half the original thickness. However, I am back on the road without a push. Well Done Earltuckian!

[@MrPatTB]

Jim, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge & making this video. I followed the procedure and it fixed my starter problem. I did not remove the starter from the engine. I unbolted a support beam between the lower engine & the intake manifold. That gave me enough room to access the back of the starter solenoid & unbolt the cover & removed the round piece. I cleaned all the contacts & put the cover back on. I only need to fix this so that I can sell it.

[@earltuckian]

I LOVE IT! This is so cool! You were thinking outside the box! (Of course, it is easier to manipulate the repair with the starter on the work bench, so probably better to remove it in most cases anyway.) But you proved that "in a bind" this "in-car" repair is an option! - We all love it when a plan comes together. - No brownies or gifts are necessary, the best rewards are the replies like this one, please give my regards to your sister and tell her thanks for thinking of me.. - Jim

[@antares37]

Hi JIm, I got a cheap repair kit from ebay incl. plunger and my starter works great now! I actually went to autozone to get it tested before I put it back in...ALL TESTS PASSED!

[@whowhos27]

BRAVO! Very helpful and I appreciate how you put the video together, you took your time and got straight to the point!

[@antoniodefilippis323]

Your amazing god bless you! I appreciate you teaching me how to do this im 16 and saved myself alot of money. Very inspirational!

[@ArcturusDruid]

You are awesome, thank you so much for posting this. You have taught me a lot and helped me empower myself, and keep my 87' Corolla running!

[@LivingWithTheGuzmans]

I just purchased a rebuilt one before finding this video. Thanks for the info and video.

[@lollmfaoff]

what great video - learned a lot - taking my starting motor out tomorrow and fixing it - it just clicks when I go start it and finally after many attempts it starts and it start normal - just like you said in the video - thank you

[@earltuckian]

Thank you for the kind compliments. The starter is always attached directly to the side of the engine or the transmission bell-housing. It will be found where the transmission and the engine go together.

[@cadnr]

Great video - saved me several hundred $. Don't know if it's my imagination, but the starter now actually seems quieter than before. Got the parts for a 99 Camry XLE from NAPA for $20. The only hard part was getting the rear starter bolt undone with my walmart wrench set - there was an annoying bent metal cable support in the way that I had to bend sideways by pushing and hammering it... threw it away afterwards. I sanded down the plunger contacts with a rotary tool, which got them nice and shiney again.

[@erikb8701]

This video saved me some cash. Thank you for getting this info out into the youtube world for the diy folks.

[@kevinmckercher]

Thank you sir. Very kind of you to share you hard earned knowledge with the rest if us

[@earltuckian]

If it is just "clicking" it sounds like a starter motor problem as described in this video. Rain can't really get onto the distributor cap when the car is parked, nor many of the engine components. If this problem relates to "after it has been driven in the rain" then yes, it can be these problems you mention. But if it will start after when dry and after being parked when dry but will not start after rain, then it sounds more like a humidity related problem.

[@lemmonjello32]

awesome video! very descriptive and great video angles, step by step, etc. I'm gonna go attempt it, thanks to you.

[@cellofingers]

Thanks Jim--That is absolutely the best video on any type car repair I have ever seen--bar none!

[@whiteblue1220]

Hi Earl, (thanks, if you see this, Tom T in So. Calif)... Today on my '99 Toy Tacoma 6cyl, when I got a click-click (auto parts dlvry driver)...1st, I jump out and look at battery. Then a parts guys walks by/says, "Put truck in 2nd gear, rock it a bit". Did that and voila, truck started! Did that one other time during morning routes. Rest-o-day, was fine. Sooo, I reckon it's probably either worn starter gear (or flywheel teeth?) goin' out... If you have a take on this, wait your news :):):)

[@earltuckian]

when you look at the schematics, you will find the distributor and ignitor wiring in that area. There are plug-ins for these components. For example wires coming out of the side/bottom of the distributor. This is a VERY unusual problem as properly maintained Corollas typically run forever with very few problems. My bet is that you'll find something that is very simple to repair that is causing this.

[@dianawunderlich70]

I have told everyone about how great your videos are, especially the giant cat head that appears. Thanks again, Diana

[@earltuckian]

Possible that it would be corrosion on the battery terminals but usually this is the first thing people correct before they look at the starter. As my video text explains, these contacts are the problem in 90% of the applications.

[@earltuckian]

Thank you for watching, and thank you for the kind compliment. It makes my day when I have helped someone with something that is really not a mystery once the truth is revealed to the world! I am happy that this saved you money. :)

[@earltuckian]

Typically a hard starting problem that is related to heat is caused by the armature dragging on the inner case. This is because the internal parts expand when hot. This is often because of bad bearings on the end(s) of the armature. When the bearings go bad, this "play" allows these internal parts to come in contact with each other when they are hot. Typically replacing the bearings will solve this problem but disassembling the armature of the motor is more complicated. Thank you for watching.

[@lundbergbv]

Just wanted to say THANKYOU! When I tested it out of the vehicle the solenoid engaged. I thought it was good. Then I saw your video. So I did the work and now the starter cranks really strong. Not sure why it worked, other then a voltage drop thru the contacts that affected the starter motor itself? I will have to replace the contacts later as the ones in it are pretty rough. I assume I can get the round contact on the pin as an assembly. Anyhow, thanks again, big time!

[@obfuscated3090]

Denso OSGR starters are also used on Evo and later Harley Sportsters and big twins. If your contact studs/nuts are hopelessly stuck the easy way to remove them is using an abrasive cutoff wheel. Don't beat on the nuts with a chisel or screwdriver as you can crack the starter housing.

[@antares37]

Hi Jim...I don't like that 'throw away and buy new' neither, that's why I try to fix it. I took the starter apart and cleaned all the contacts with sandpaper incl. the plunger...the contacts actually didn't look too bad. Put everything back together but still get the clicking only...takes 10 or more try's before it eventually starts. What else could be the problem. I have a 99 corolla and it's hard to get that thing in and out...had to remove the oil filter to pull it. Good video though!

[@RonGJX]

Absolutely excellent and detailed. Super job. Confirms my suspicions from an expert.

[@earltuckian]

Also check battery cable connections and plug-ins. You can unplug the ignition connections and spray them with silicone to repel moisture. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching. Jim

[@earltuckian]

@hemangster SUPERB! Thank you for the kind compliment. Nice to hear the comments as this validates the procedure. Regards, Jim

[@earltuckian]

@ArcturusDruid Thank you for the kind compliment, Thank you for watching, best wishes for success on your repairs.

[@earltuckian]

yep, the clicking as explained in the video. Check your battery connections first. That is easy and corrosion on the battery terminals can also cause the starter not to engage. Thank you for watching.

[@earltuckian]

Hi Tom, I would still look at the starter first. Primarily as it is the easiest thing to check first. At the point these begin to fail, any slight tapping on the starter body often will restore function for a short period of time. If you have the habit of turning the key and engaging the starter when the engine is already running, then yes the starter gear and/or flywheel could have bad teeth. But my feeling is that it is only your starter contacts. - Jim

[@deanmunrodotcom]

Excellent !! I wish I watched your video before I pulled the rest of the starter to bits. Lucky I haven't put the starter back yet. Thanks from Australia.

[@DUBDUECE05]

sorry for lare response it was the starter i took a wrench and hit it it turned over so i took it off and replaced it been fine ever since ...this is the second started and battery ive changed..03 pontiac vibe and thanks for the help

[@earltuckian]

It is possible that you have bad starter armature bearings causing the starter to "drag" If it does this when cold and also hot, it is usually only the contacts. If it does it worse when the starter is hot from sustained running then suspect the armature bearings. When these parts heat-up and expand, then the dragging usually get worse. You may be one of the 10% that needs a starter motor replacement.

[@earltuckian]

@Crashof2008 I believe the original manufacturer is ND (Nippon Denso) Perhaps your Bosch replacement is inferior to the original model. It seem unusual that it would fail so often.

[@earltuckian]

Hello, Some users have reported that these parts can be obtained from Toyota as well. It seems that auto parts stores are getting away from selling small parts and going into "corporate mode" where inexperienced counter help is the norm and selling you a complete assembly instead of the parts to repair. Another option is to try a company that is an auto-electrical specialist, they might have the parts in stock. If you find the parts, please tell me and I will post your reply, Thank you, Jim

[@earltuckian]

Our NAPA is locally owned and the staff are very good at sourcing about anything. If you are dealing with a "corporate" NAPA that does not have a machine-shop in-house that repairs and rebuilds starters, generators, carburetors etc., then they will ONLY sell you a starter as they are only "countermen" not actually mechanics. You can buy the parts from Toyota and since my video was made, there now are several sellers on ebay also selling the kits.. Thank you for watching.

[@atomichaser]

i just did this to my 94 celica starter...your video is awesome...thanks 4 posting it!

[@barryphelan9831]

Thanks Jim, worked a charm. However the rubber dust boot around the connection nut on the power side was melted and fell to pieces. I cleaned away the melted boot and put some electrical tape around it and it seemed alright, just wondering is this sufficient and also if I may have some other problem that caused this?

[@earltuckian]

@MrProTechHD - This changing of parts without actually knowing the problem is common, often very expensive and the exact reason almost all auto parts stores do not accept returns on electrical parts. I once experienced a VW dealership which did this as well. (Just start changing parts until the car runs.) All the time charging labor and spare parts at their customer's expense. Of course they are no longer in business.

[@earltuckian]

My thoughts would be that you have not installed the motor correctly into the mounting area. There is no reason that after only cleaning the contacts, the solenoid-driven gear on the starter would not engage the gear on the back of the engine and turn the engine over. Unless you left out the "plunger" or plunger spring from the starter motor? It seems that you need to first inspect your work.

[@YTResilienT]

My car batter and alternator was tested and still all very good condition. The problem is sometimes when I turn the key nothing happens, no clicks nothing. All lights do turn on though. I have to turn the key 3-4x somtimes to get it started. Is this a starter contact problem or something more?

[@shah20746683365]

Good video. Going to try it out 2marro on my car as i had a problem with it today. Going to do this hopefully it will start it up. One question wen i turn the ignition it makes lots of clicking noise that means it is the starter?

[@gaps2420]

Where is the ignition connection? I am not sure of this and am having trouble finding the location on my 97 corolla. I can follow my batter connections, but I am unsure of what I am looking for when it comes to the ignition connection (where the spark plug wires connect to the distributor?)

[@earltuckian]

@spicyinmyeyesdave Thank you for the kind compliment, and thank you for watching, best wishes for success on your efforts.

[@chiconian49]

Earl, Nice film. My buddy has a 1990 Geo Prizm with starting problems. Pep Boys replaced the starter twice (If they can be trusted). Now he is having problems getting it to start on very hot days after using AC. When he turns the key it only clicks when the car is hot. After the car cools, it starts. Any ideas? Thanks. I'm thinking his problem is solenoid, neutral safety switch, or somewhere in the ignition system where metal will expand when hot. However I only work on old us cars.

[@earltuckian]

There were some problems with the switch in the shifter (if it has an automatic on the floor) have him try starting it in neutral instead of park and that is a simple adjustment. But if it is 'clicking' then probably not that as that will be a dead circuit as it is a safety feature. Otherwise, just like old American cars, it seems to be the armature dragging inside the starter case due to heat expansion, but two new starters seems to negate that theory. I still think it is heat/starter related.

[@hardestworker]

what to do when you lose parts because the cat on the workbench likes batting things around? Helpful video. thanks

[@jwest88]

My 99 corolla has been having problems starting. I have a repair kit that should arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping this fixes it. In the 5 years I've had the car I've never had starting issues, so this is the most annoying problem I've had so far. I'll also have to buy a 10" extension bar for my ratchet to remove the starter, unfortunately.

[@gaps2420]

Hi Jim, I have been having trouble getting my 97 corolla to start. It is only happening when it rains. I have been researching that it could be a distributor cap crack, a crack in my starter, or alternator. How do I know which I should be looking at, my distributor cap doesn't appear to have a crack. that is the only peice I can see easily. The engine will sound like it is getting ready to start, but it won't turn over. I have replaced spark plug wires and plugs so I know it isn't due to this.

[@earltuckian]

@MrProTechHD You don't say the mile on your Camry, but this sounds like your problem. If you take the starter off and find this to be the problem, then there is really nothing else you can do as everything else in the system has been changed. The only thing left to suspect would be the ignition switch on the steering column which is a very rare failure.

[@ramborubio3656]

thanks buddy my starter on my 99 sienna started with one click the to like 30 saw your video and I said he'll wat can I loose so I try it and dam it work thanks u save me alot of money really thanks

[@Crashof2008]

Hi, I have a 1985 Corolla and my starter has failed for the 3rd time in three years. I've been buying Bosch remanufactured ones. I live in the mountains and it is kind of damp up here. Could my problem be that my contacts are just getting very rapidly corroded, as you outline in this video? Thanks! Matt in Millbrae

[@DUBDUECE05]

Great vide but my 03 vibe isn't doing anything but all lights horn and radio is on and also sounds like the fuel pump is pumping....any help?

[@halfshackleton1675]

Thanks for the vid Jim. This was a nagging problem on an otherwise bullet-proof 91 Corolla Diesel, youre a good man.

[@iahrens55]

HI JIm' Thanks so much for this video. My sons starter was doing this a year ago and i used your advice. It has worked ever since however, its doing it again. I called napa in my area and they dont carry the contacts. Should I try it again or any ideas on who else might carry the contacts in the Sacramento California area.

[@chinary8]

Good stuff! However, my starter seems to be doing this in cycles. It'll go three days of starting up, then a few days of a couple clicks to start it, then a few days of a BUNCH of clicks to start it, then starts up again. Do you think this could be a dead spot as opposed to the dirty connections?

[@MrProTechHD]

i have a question i have a 98 camry 4 cycl. i have changed the battery terminals,the battery,the alternator,this morning when i gave it a jump it started it ok i took the jumper cable off then turned the engine on and off 5-6 times a row it did start it fine then few hrs later i went some where when i left my home i heard a click while trying to start it...then at the 2nd start the engine started...does it sound like a starter problem?

[@antares37]

I went to my NAPA store but they told me they don't sell these contacts...just complete starters...my toyota dealer sells repair kits for around $20 for each contact (comes with all the screws..but I don't it) really hard to get the contacts only.

[@samalayork]

Hi Jim! great and easy to understand instructional vid! will work on it throughout the weekend and report results. 1993 toyota celica ST. tnx.

[@frankie2234]

Great job ! Any other useful repair tips, I have a 2007 camry. It has never been to the dealer for repair since I bought it. Knock on wood.

[@earltuckian]

@fungyinpan1 Sorry for your problems. but it seems that you must have done something wrong. Perhaps you do not have the starter motor properly installed to the engine? Loose bolts?

[@earltuckian]

Still could be the starter. Try pressing the horn while turning the key. If the horn sound gets weak when applying key load, then you have some current in the starter circuit. If the horn sound almost goes away, check connections on battery terminals and condition of battery. Toyotas are so reliable it is seldom a serious problem unless you go to a "stealership" where they use the common clueless technique of changing parts until the problem eventually is fixed. :( Thanks for the compliment

[@earltuckian]

@RonGJX Thank you for the kind compliment and for watching. I hope my video has assisted you in solving your problem.

[@earltuckian]

Depending upon if you have the V6 or 4 cylinder engine, it is not the same exact starter, but the components and repair procedure is identical on almost all Toyota starters for several decades. Thank you for watching.

[@Bobby2231000]

do i need to change the plunger also?

[@jim5pie]

Dude you saved me a bunch of money. fix worked like a charm. Thank you very much!

[@earltuckian]

Sorry for your misfortune. I think if you read through all of the previous comments from all the people who have repaired their own starter, this "not being able to find parts" would seem to be untrue. Seems that maybe in your area, the personnel at the parts stores you dealt with are unwilling to take the time to order these for you or are uninformed/inexperienced. The reason I made the video was because we have become a culture of "throw it away and buy a new one". Thank you for watching.

[@MrProTechHD]

@earltuckian i figured it out what the problem was with the 98 camry 4 cycl starting problem...i found out that it was the shifting cable when the car does not properly lock on Park "P' if the car does not lock on park properly it will refrain the car from starting ...so there i loosened the screw which is located by the engine..and did some internally cleaning with a wd40 it solved the problem

[@davidsparling3505]

Great, concise video. Thanks so much for this info!

[@earltuckian]

COOL! Thanks for watching.

[@dannz2603]

I've done this before and it has worked just fine but on my most recent try/fix when I put it all back together the engine didn't crank, or I should say that the starter motor didn't revolve. I had replaced the contacts and the plunger btw, the engine has over 200k on it but it was running ok. What I did get when I turned the key was a little "click" and a large voltage drop??? Any help or advice will be gratefully accepted :-/)

[@earltuckian]

Dan Holloway Since this is what you were working on, I would suspect a short-circuit at your cable connection point. Most likely your plastic insulator is compromised or incorrectly installed.

[@Tweetyaradillas]

I have a quick question I have Toyota Supra we are having the same problem where it clicks several times till the starter engages. We changed our starter and it still happens so we noticed the wiring to the starter to the batter is corroded so I'm guessing change the wiring on the battery. What do you think?

[@earltuckian]

Tweety Aradillas Look closely at the battery terminals. On older Toyotas, it is common for the cable-to-terminal 'clamp' to crack, (or the bolt to pull through the clamp, making it impossible to get completely tightened) As well as 'wire-brush' cleaning the posts on the battery as well as the interior of the clamps. If the bolt has pulled through the clamp, or the clamp itself is stretched-out, then this could be your problem, not a good enough connection at the battery post. You can usually change-out only the post clamp itself, typically, the wires are OK. With this scenario, you have electrical current and things like lights and radio work, but the slightly loose connection won't carry the 'amps' needed to turn the starter motor. - Thank you for watching.

[@Tweetyaradillas]

Ok I will change the wires because they look corroded at the post and the copper in the wires are a bit brittle. Wish me luck thank you for your videos they really help alot.

[@jdquinitchette]

Lord, my man-friend had to admit that I have found the video that diagnosed the problem, and that crow he ate seems to be gagging him a little! I've no idea why, since he sent me on this excursion in the first place.

[@brandenthorsteinson6705]

would this work for a 92 corolla?

[@coyotebrowntrouthunter]

Great video! Exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing this!

[@vaquero3578]

what if your problem is a draggy starter? I know its not the battery. would it be the crushes? and can those be replaced?

[@earltuckian]

Hi, Most likely you have worn-out "shaft end support bearings" and this causes the armature to drop under gravity and drag on the interior of the starter case. Typically the starter will drag more when it is hot from transfer of engine heat. (Starts easier when car has been sitting for several hours, hard to get to restart after being shut off for short period of time) This is because this engine heat transfer into the starter body expands slightly the armature and this makes the clearance even tighter there where it is dragging. Maybe if this previously described hot/cold scenario is the case, you may consider a complete rebuilt starter replacement as this can become a can of worms.. When the armature drags, then you can have some drag-damage to the windings etc.. You many want to check Toyota dealer parts department pricing as well. Sometimes Toyota is cheaper than the auto parts stores on rebuilt items like starters and alternators. It's the installation labor at the dealership that gets killer expensive... And thank you for watching and best regards. Jim

[@maryrobertson6772]

Yes, God bless. I always like a good preview BEFORE opening something I haven't seen..no ugly surprises. Got it done quick..no more KLIK! THANKS ~crisinbigbear(california)
