STARTER MOTOR
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable (Fig. 10).
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Remove starter bolts (Fig. 11).
(4) Remove starter assembly.
(5) Disengage latch and remove solenoid connector
from starter assembly.
(6) Remove battery positive connector from starter
assembly. It is not necessary to remove the alternator
output lead from the connector.
INSTALLATION
(1) Clean corrosion/dirt from the cable and wire
terminals before installing wiring to the solenoid.
(2) Attach battery positive connector to starter.
Ensure alternator output connector is snapped into
the battery positive connector. Tighten the captive
nut to 10 N´m (90 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: It is critical that the alternator output ter-
minal be connected to the battery positive terminal
of the starter solenoid, for proper operation of the
charging and cranking systems.
(3) Install solenoid connector to starter. Ensure
that latch is fully engaged.
(4) Position the starter face into transmission
housing. Start bottom mounting bolt and thread in
until bolt is snug.
(5) Attach ground cable to upper starter mounting
bolt.
(6) Ensure the proper starter alignment before
tightening the starter mounting bolts to 54 N´m (40
ft. lbs.) torque.
(7) Lower vehicle and connect negative battery
cable.
STARTER RELAY
The relay is located in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC). Refer to the PDC cover for relay location.
