Thank you so much for making this video. I would not have been able to do it without this video. Worked the same on my 2009 Sedona. Much better than taking all the stuff off that everybody else was saying. Got it done in a few hours and a few busted knuckles. Even me, a non car guy who hasn't done anything like this for years.
This video was super helpful and showed me how to save time and keep from take off thing that didn't need to be removed. Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work.
I pulled it out from the bottom without removing the o2 sensor or bracket using a small ratchet and swivel socket. The o2's cord is more of a problem than the sensor but that can be disconnected or just moved to the side.
@@kennyadriankc , The mechanic shop did went off the handle asking for 590😂, I said call you later ... which i won't did it like you did but managed to squeeze mine from the bottom, the new one I'll drop it from the top and go from there... 👍
Some update that may help... When I was trying to put the starter back, I noticed that there's a vertical bar that is in the middle of the radiator and it's really in the way when you try to rotate the starter down there in that reduced space. If you remove the plastic cover that is on top of the radiator, it has a bunch of those fake plastic screws that you just pull off, and the cover just detaches. Then that horizontal bar that crosses from side to side on top of the radiator only has two screws on each side, very accessible and easy to remove. Remove each screw for each round horn on each side, and maybe some clips for the hose on the left side. Then remove another easy to reach screw that is below the car holding the vertical bar from the bottom end. There's a small hole in the front plastic cover below the car. Once the whole assembly is loose, you don't have to remove the whole thing out of the car, just tilt the whole thing to move the horizontal bar a little to the side so that it's out of the way. For me it was a lot easier to reposition the starter back once that stupid bar was not an obstacle. Everything is very easy to put back, only takes a few minutes. I think that I should have done this from the beginning too to make the starter removal easier if I had noticed it, because I really had to struggle trying to move it around like you did in the video. ALSO IMPORTANT: when you put the cables back in the starter, make sure that they are running close to the shell in that small groove between the motor and the solenoid, or putting the starter cover back will be a headache. I found it the hard way. If the cables are poking out the cover will not fit between the starter and that big exhaust pipe cooling cover with holes coming down.
Oh man... I should have tried to look for this video before I lifted my car this weekend trying to look for the starter. I'm having some VERY ANNOYING intermittent starting issues. Considered many things, from a bad key cylinder, maybe relays, etc. When I try to start I can see how the car pulls the voltage down because the clock in the dash almost fades. The alternator is fine, the battery is fine. I'm almost sure that it's the starter because if it was the battery, it simply wouldn't start, and on every attempt I would make the battery weaker by discharging it, which would make it worse. But I turn the key, flip it and turn the key again, wiggle it, wait, turn the key, wait... and suddenly, just like that, it decides to start whenever it wants to. Normal start, like if nothing have happened. I'm thinking about taking the starter out and see if there's a way to check anything on it. Just like yours, a 07 model, so probably it's at its end of life anyway. But at least now I know where it is in the car.
Glad I could help, but you can always check the thin wire that's on the start that the key signal to start the car , the big wire it battery power, should have voltage all the time, so if someone tries to start and you checking the thin wire on the start you should get anything around 12.5v or higher. If nothing gets there then check the relay, or you can alway by pass the relayed and test the thin wire that goes to the starter by jumping the pin on the relay. Best of luck.
Hello it all depends if the engine its sideways or facing you when you open the hood , if its sideways it should be the same process, if facing you depending on what side of the engine it is you may have to take more things out
