Instructions for Replacing the Starter Motor

Model: Ford Mondeo / Fusion MK 1 - Years 1993-2000
Part: Starter motor

Before proceeding with the removal of the starter motor, disconnect the battery to avoid any short circuits. To access the starter motor, located above the gearbox, you need to remove the intercooler and turbo hoses as well as the engine air filter housing. At this point, disconnect the power cables and place the vehicle on suitable axle stands to access the underside of the vehicle. To complete the removal of the starter motor, detach the exhaust from the manifold and the turbo support bracket; you can then finish removing the starter by unscrewing the fixing bolts and extracting it from its position from the underside of the engine bay. Proceed in reverse for the installation of the new starter (you may opt for a refurbished one), first applying the alignment bushes.
