To replace the starter motor on a Ford Fiesta, raise the car using a ramp or jack to access its underside. The starter motor is located near the engine bay, roughly in the centre.

To remove it, disconnect the connectors attached to it and loosen the bolts securing it in place. Once the starter motor is freed, you can extract it from its housing and replace it with a new part.

The new starter motor must then be connected to the connectors and secured with the appropriate bolts.
