You as well as your car and all your plans that involve traveling would come to a standstill, if the starter motors of the vehicle go bad. This is the first component in the vehicle that activates as soon as the "Start" button is pressed. Therefore it is very important to keep in perfect condition and this could be done very easily once you know the entire functioning of the vehicle and this is what we have come up with this post.
Engaging the Triggering Switch
- According to car servicing experts, the first task of starter motors is to engage the trigger switch and this happens as soon as the "Start" button is pressed or key is turned towards "Ignition".
- This triggering means that the electrical energy will be pulled from the car battery and sent towards the starter solenoid.
- Remember that this happens with the help of starter motors and if there’s no current moving from the battery to the starter solenoid, the engine can’t get going.
The Starter Solenoid
- As far as the starter solenoid is concerned, in most cases, it is in the shape of a small cylinder and it acts as a magnet when charged with an electrical current.
- The main task of this part in the vehicle is to send current towards the starter motors and when the vehicle is starting; this solenoid receives the current from the battery and sends it towards starter motors.
Tips for Caring For Your Starter Motor:
• Make sure that all the connectors aren’t corroded, dirty or grimy
• Clean the solenoid and the terminals so that the connections are not compromised
• Make sure the pinion gear and flywheel aren’t damaged
