45+ years of working on cars and I've never seen a starter that wouldn't stop starting. I don't know how many burned out starters and stuck open solenoids I've replaced over the years, but this is a new one on me…. Thanks for coming up with something I haven't seen yet.
???
Literally encountered this today on a 2017 Toyota Corolla. The customer even drove it all the way to our shop with the starter engaged on. It did stop when I tapped the starter. Warranty approved the replacement unit.
Ye your saving money doing it yourself but you gotta go thru the hassle of changing it out in a cramped area
We are smarter in Australia. We just take them apart and fix them. Think of the savings.
why work only on old models
Just recently changed the starter on my 2003 Santa Fe….I couldn't believe how simple it was to do. It also makes me a bit proud to accomplish something like that. Thanks Scotty!
Obviously I don't need to start my car if it just keeps starting on it's own
Scotty, I have a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T and it doesn't wanna start when I fuel it up. It start Everytime except when I fuel it, was happening. I leave it on when I fuel so it doesn't turn off
OK, so there's this grinding noise my 2010 Corolla has been making upon start up that is very brief but sounds awful. I went online and the consensus is it's the cam timing actuator having to get oiled up on start up and the cam gear is grinding. That was a legit thing that happened on the Ford this car replaced, so I just assumed the same with this.
But one day I did something I haven't done in decades, I accidentally turned the key to start while the engine was running, and the grinding noise was the EXACT sound I hear once in a while.
I'm now convinced the starter is hanging up for a second.
Reason I say this is this is so common with these Toyotas that Toyota actually put out a TSB and replaced the cam gear, which never rectified the "problem" for people. I'm thinking even Toyota was wrong on this one and looked in the wrong direction. They should have looked into these starters to see if there's a flaw in the design.
