To replace the starter motor on the Ford Fiesta, open the bonnet to access the components located within the engine bay: the starter motor will be on the left side, near the flywheel. To reach it, it is advisable to completely remove the front bumper and the plastic cover from the top of the engine block.

Once the part is located, you can remove it by disconnecting the connectors and unscrewing the bolts that secure it to its mounts, allowing for replacement with a new unit.
