What's the reason for the starter not responding?

[BennettMarie]

The reasons for the starter not responding are: damaged starter relay, faulty control circuit of the starter, worn starter brushes, insufficient battery power, or a blown starting fuse. When encountering a situation where the starter fails to operate, it's essential to contact a towing service or roadside assistance as soon as possible. The starting system carries relatively high current; improper handling may not only exacerbate the damage, potentially burning out other electronic control units, but in severe cases, could lead to the main power line grounding. This would generate an instantaneous high current, producing extreme heat and resulting in burns. The starter, also known as the motor, converts the battery's electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the engine's flywheel, thereby initiating the engine's operation. Starters are categorized by their working principles into: DC electric starters, gasoline starters, and compressed air starters.
