Is the starter motor faulty? Here’s how to remove it from a Fiat 500. Lift the front bonnet of the car and disconnect the battery terminals. Locate the starter motor in the engine bay (access from above or below the vehicle) and disconnect the terminals using pliers or a screwdriver, depending on the pressure of the tabs.

Unscrew the securing bolts of the starter motor and remove it from the engine bay. Fit the new starter motor, connecting the power terminals and the associated securing screws. Reconnect the battery terminals of the vehicle.

Lower the car if you used a jack and test the vehicle.
