3 starters in less than a month
hey guys! ok i dont know if this is bad luck or there is actually something wrong with the car. So in August my factory starter started going out, usual symptoms slow cranking etc finally it went out i knocked on it and car came back out so i got it home and bought a brand new one installed it drove about two weeks on it. It started to slow crank i got home and then i was about to drive somewhere and turn the key and just Click and nothing. Replaced it again did exact same thing... so any ideas or should i just replace it ?? and hope this is the one that wont go out lol

I would definately check the wiring, make sure the power and grounds are all good. Test your battery and alternator, make sure they are both good.
Fwiw, I have had experiences with Oreilys where I have had to replace the alternator 2 times on a car I was working on, One of them had the case bolts loose. When I went back for the 3rd one I had them test it right out of the box and that one tested bad. If you go back for a replacement starter have them test it before you buy it. IMO though I would only buy oem if you can. G/L

I once visited a facility that did rebuilds on starters and other things. I needed a mechanical cruise control for an old GM product and I had heard they had some. It was in a galvanized steel building with a dirt floor, there was no heat and it was winter. The employees worked in their coats. And, also, no cruise controls.

This place I visited was rebuilding starters that were being sold somewhere. The point is, I can't see a person standing on a dirt floor and wearing their coat taking a lot of pride in their work. Get the starter you have repaired by a reputable shop or buy new.
