Starter Motor Replacement

Model: Ford Mustang S197, MK 5 - Years 2005-2014
Part: Starter motor

Before proceeding with the removal of the starter motor, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. The starter motor is located at the bottom of the engine bay, so access from underneath is required; remove the cover from the starter motor's power cable and undo the securing nut of the eyelet; then undo the securing bolts of the starter motor and pull it away from its housing. Compare the old starter with the new one (it is recommended to opt for a refurbished product) and, once certain of perfect compatibility, proceed with the installation by seating it in its housing, tightening the securing bolts, and reconnecting the power.
