Starters

In the Starters category, you will find essential components required for reliable engine ignition. The starter is an electric motor that engages the engine and allows it to begin running. A faulty starter is one of the most common causes of starting problems, but it is important to distinguish it from a discharged battery.

How to recognize a faulty starter?

• The engine does not respond when turning the key, even though the battery is charged

• You only hear clicking sounds, but the engine does not crank

• Starting is slow or irregular despite a fully charged battery

• The starter occasionally “sticks” or fails completely

How to tell the difference between a faulty starter and a discharged battery?

• Discharged battery – symptoms include dim dashboard lights, slow engine cranking, or a complete lack of electrical power in the car

• Faulty starter – all electrical systems (lights, radio, dashboard) work normally, but the engine does not start
