Starter Replacement

If your Mondeo starter suits «strikes», then most often several components are involved. An electromagnetic switch or sliding electrographite contacts, for example, may be jammed or worn. In addition, the shaft anchor may be caught in its «storage location». Before you go to your home machine for repairs, it’s better to think about a replacement starter or a previously used unit from a car that has recently been in an accident. Ford still offers a replacement starter kit as a spare unit.
