🔧 What is a Starter Motor & Why It Fails

The starter motor is an essential part of your car’s ignition system. When you turn the key (or press start), the starter motor engages the engine to start combustion. If the starter fails, your engine simply won’t start.

Common causes of starter motor failure include:

  • Worn-out internal components (like brushes or solenoids)

  • Electrical issues such as faulty wiring or poor connections

  • Overheating or age-related wear

  • Frequent short trips with multiple starts per day
