I changed the starter in my 98 JXI convertible and it was fairly easy. You can only change it out from underneath the car. It's easiest if you have a means to get some working room under the front end of the car. The starter is located towards the front of the car, right next to the oil filter (just about at the center of the engine compartment). You must remove the oil filter during the job and it should be replaced. Unhook the negative battery cable before starting the repair, remove the wires connected to the starter and undo the two bolts holding the starter in. It slides right out. Make sure the nes starter is securely in place before replacing the bolts. Then hook the wires back up, put the new oil filter on and replace the fuse that always seem to blow when it goes out.
I had a similar problem turns out the Alternator was bad.
If the lights in the car come on, then at least part of the system is getting power. Check the battery connections again. Then check the starter solenoid and starter to insure that they are getting power and are working properly.
The starter is located on the top of the engine, on the driver's side under the intake manifold. You remove the rear manifold mounting bracket to get to it.
We had the same problem in our '97. Check that your battery is fully charged and working properly, also check that the alt is working. If both of these are in working order it could be a faulty ground wire or the starter wire. Then, if those check out fine, I would start checking into your ignition switch and modular. I traced our issue backwards. If you know that the starter and the alt is good then it has to be in the electrical part of the car. Wiring or ignition. Hope this helps. If by chance it's something else please let me know. We finally found our problem in the ignition wiring. We had a bad wire going into the module. We have to push up on the wiring to get the starter to jump. Still a reliable car.
29s here, i work for an automotive company a recently we had a 94 or 95 caddy deville with the north star engine in for a starter replacement. the starter was located in the center of the motor! the engine is a v-shape (v8) with the intake cover acting as a lid overtop of the motor with the starter smack in the center. you would have to remove the intake in order to even see the starter if you have the same motor types. That is exactly how to remove it on a 97, i have one and the starter is located under the intake.
today I change my own in my 97 sebring, I will let you know when I finish how it went
Start with no starter??That car isn't going anywhere unless you change the starter or tow it.
Yes
I've replace the starter for a rebuilt and it spins. I know I've removed 2 screw to many. Could it be I've change the adjustment?
It is not a direct fit.
No there is not.
i have 163,000 on my 97 Sebring and it is still running strong except the alternator just went out. Then it will be a champ again!!!
Disconnect the battery. unhook the wires from the starter, then unbolt the unit. Drop the starter and bolt the new one in. Reconnect the wiring and battery.
Where's the starter cylinder on my 97 escort
ANSWER Check the starter fuse under the hood. A very small fuse in the fuse box. I think it's a 20 amp.The design is such that almost asks that fuse to blow intermittently. ANSWER If the starter fuse has blown, the starter is going bad and should be replaced.
where is the crank sensor located on my 1997 Chrysler sebring lxi
No.
