How Often Should a Starter Be Replaced?

[VanPeyton]

Automobile starters are generally replaced every ten years. Below is relevant information about starters: 1. Introduction: When starting the engine, turn the ignition switch to the start position to activate the starter relay coil circuit. This drives the engine's crankshaft to rotate, bringing the engine's pistons to the ignition position. 2. Starter Working Principle: The circuit is as follows: Battery positive terminal → 30 terminal → ammeter → ignition switch → starter relay "ignition switch" terminal → coil → ground → battery negative terminal. The core becomes magnetized, attracting the contact arm to close the contacts. The electromagnetic coil circuit activates the relay contacts to close, simultaneously connecting the pull-in coil and hold-in coil current circuits. Pull-in coil circuit: Battery positive terminal → 30 terminal → starter relay "battery" terminal, bracket, contacts, "starter" terminal → terminal "50" → pull-in coil → starter field terminal → motor field winding → armature winding → ground → battery negative terminal.
