Thanks! Your video was super helpful when my starter died at the store with newborn twins and a 2 year old! I was able to do it by myself with them napping in the car!
@Samantha Allman - YOU ROCK SAMANTHA!! I think this is the best comment I have ever received here on YT and I have been fortunate enough to receive many. I am going to pin this one at the top. I wish you could see the huge smile on my face right now, you really made my week! I don''t think I could pull this off with my kids sleeping in the car, maybe YOU should do a video so I could learn. LOL Super glad to hear my video was able to help you. I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to leave me some feedback on this - thank you.
Wow! That's awesome!
Nice to keep a floor jack and jack stands in the car at all times
I don't believe it .I have 3 days been watching my starter and still think about it . I am interested to give you a big 👍
@@javosgarage , I was impressed as well. Good job.
This is by far THE BEST video about car repair ANYWHERE on RUclips!!! Great host, thorough process, editing 5 stars...I'm sure this channel has the potential to become much bigger. Thank you for a great tutorial video.
Thanks for properly articulating and demonstrating how to do this particular job without having to remove the radiator fan and latch assemblies. Your way saves time and a lot of grief.
@A Thompson - Thank you very much for the compliment. I'm happy to hear my video helps others do their job and maybe make it a bit easier in the process. Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me some feedback - much appreciated!
Glad I watched a few videos extra. Saw at least 3 before this that did that also
Huge thanks, changed mine on the 06 Grand Caravan - about 45-60 minutes total. Saved me hundreds of dollars. Thorough and I appreciate you mentioning the socket sizes!
@Wayne Stennett - Super glad to hear my video was able to help you with your project Wayne. These type of comments really make my day. I really appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me some feedback - thank you.
Thank You 🙏 wooo hooo I did it!!! Never changed a part in my 40 years!!! Thank You 🙏
BEST Starter Replacement VIDEO EVER! Keep making vids please. I refuse to give up my 2005 T&C. It's a beast at 226,000 miles and I see no reason to junk it if it can keep running efficiently. Thank You!
@J R - Well thank you for the compliment! It's always nice to hear one of my videos has been able to help someone with their project. I'm looking for my next project van now so there will be more videos in this series in the future. I appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment - thank you!
One of the most informative starter change videos ive come across. Follow this mans advice to the letter and this job will take you an hour (coffee break included).
Thank you Javo!
@T Werdt - Wow. Thank you very much for the great compliment. It always puts a huge smile on my face when a read a comment like yours as it is very satisfying to know my video was able to help someone with their project. I really appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me some feedback - much appreciated!
Right. I've already spent three hours & still have one bolt to take out. Then the same putting it back in. Hoses in the way so a straight extension wont work.
This was an excellent video showing the steps needed to replace the starter! I just completed the job myself and thought I would mention a couple things that might help you out.
The lower bolt was a bit hard to get too but very doable, the upper starter bolt was a real bear cat for me! I could put a standard size 8” ratchet and 13 mm deep socket on the nut holding on the ground wires and get it to swing in front of the radiator while it was tight I was able to get it to break loose and get the ground wires off. Then the challenge really started with breaking loose the 15 mm upper starter bolt which was extremely tight!! I could easily reach it in the same manner with the short ratchet and 15 mm deep socket; however I could not muster enough strength to break it loose.
I ended up draining about a quart of antifreeze out an removing the upper radiator hose from the thermostat housing. I got out my long 18 inch half inch drive ratchet with a 1/2 inch to 3/8 reducer and messed around with several different lengths of extensions and was able to go out farther toward the driver’s side fender and push a large wiring harness back and get the larger ratchet into place. It took about everything I had to get that upper bolt to break loose with a mighty crack. Other than that it was a pretty simple job. I would recommend starting with removing the top bolt and if you can’t get it, then it’s a good time to abandon this project and let a mechanic takeover.
Looking forward to watching your other projects. We tried to do this on a 1996 town country today. We are having nothing but a headache getting on the top nut.
I appreciate your detailed explanation. Nice camera work, I usually get dizzy with the one handed car repair how to's but your video was really good. Also, I think this video made me realize I need another tool... Thanks.
@jdw4807tube - Thank you very much for the compliment! I have really tried to improve my "camera skills" so viewers have a chance to see the work being done. Sometimes I get frustrated with videos because they leave important parts out or you can't see what or how they're performing the repair. Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me some feedback - much appreciated!
One question. Is this for the 3.3 or 3.8 or both. Excellent video by the way. Who are the 12 geniuses that disliked this video. Could not have done a better job explaining the process. Well done.
@Steve Mobley - This video will apply to both the 3.3 and 3.8 motors Steve. Not sure about the dislikes, I guess you're never going to make everyone happy but I do give it my best. Thank you so much for the compliments on the video, I really appreciate it. Thanks for stopping by!
I like the videos when you show before nothing removed, hate it when they show once is done and just point out where the nut/bolts are and not give you an idea of how to attack them, my 2007 SXT 3.8 was a bitch to put back in ,,,the stupid tin metal back plate is a pain in the butt to keep in place to re-installed, had a hard time getting to the top bolt, had the trans oil lines in the way, and thee is this square little electrical box right under the oil lines, had to remove that and the oil lines,,,could not access the top bolt straight enough with out stripping anything....was a bitch but got it done,,,I HATE THE METAL PLATE,,,,THANKS FOR THE VIDEO,,,GREAT EXPLANATION
@Toishin Gao - I understand your frustration. This job does require working in some tight spaces that can be hard to get to and see in order to do the work. Glad to hear you were able to get your job done. Thank you very much for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me some feedback on my video - much appreciated!
Great video. Just changed mine out but I'm still just getting a click and then no start. Any ideas what to check next?
Me and you appear to be in the same boat haha. Relays? Could be ignition coils?
@Joseph Tkach - Hello Joseph, I'm sorry I missed your question earlier and I hope it has been resolved. Few ideas come to mind in this situation - 1. It's very possible your new starter isn't functioning correctly and believe it or not that happens far too often with reman starters (alternators too for that matter) or 2. Your battery has drained down to the point it doesn't have the power to properly engage the starter. 3. It's possible (but less likely) it's your ignition switch fuse located at F23 in your fuse panel, it is a red 10amp fuse. I can tell you have had several starters not work properly right out of the box over the years so don't be surprised if that's your problem. Hope that helps you a bit - thanks for stopping by!
That engine is so clean! What do you do to keep it that way?
Javo, thanks for your caravan videos. You saved us a lot of money. All the best.
Glad to hear that!
First rate video. Good production quality and did a great job explaining how to change the starter.
@William Stewart - Well thank you very much William. Always super glad to hear one of my videos has been able to help someone. Thanks for stopping by!
Your video was a HUGE help! Followed it step-by-step. The only issue was the difficulty at pulling the blinker cable off, that clip was a bear! This video saved me major! THANKS! :)
@TSN_ - I am SO glad to hear my video was able to help you. These type of comments ALWAYS make my day! I understand the problem with the signal wire, they can be really hard to remove at times. I find it "funny" when the hardest part of a job like this is the one thing that should have been the easiest. That's how jobs go though. Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a moment to come back and leave me some feedback - much appreciated!
I have a 2006 Chrysler town country how can I put a new racket pinion complete set
@blossombc28 - Hello Blossom. Unfortunately, I don't currently have a video for that project and I couldn't even begin to type instructions here due to the fact it's a really big job. You may do a search here on YT, I'm sure you could get some ideas. I am looking for my next project van and I will be adding this job to a list of videos I'll be making to share in the future. I'm sorry I can't point you to a video on this one, I wish I could. I really do appreciate you stopping by though, thank you.
I was going to make and post a video for this, but no need as you did a perfect job!
Very helpful, I may have replacing the starter coming up for me on a 2006 Town and Country I have. Charged the battery but still acts like it is dead. I also may be replacing the alternator as well so Ill see if you have that on video. Im currently working on replacing the calipers, rotors and brake hoses on the front of it.
3 years ago your video helped me and today I had to replace the starter again and your video made the job easy again. Javo is excellent but replacement starters are not, they have short lives, make sure you buy one with a lifetime warranty, you will need it. Thanks Javo.
Great video. Very informative. I'm a mobile mechanic and a pulled your video up just to get socket sizes originally but listened to it while I was driving to see if you had any shortcuts.
Another great video! Thank you so much for these, they really do help ;)
Do you have any, or are thinking about doing an alternator change for this vehicle? I need a new one for mine.
@Kenneth Turner - Thank you for the compliment! I don't have a video on the alternator at this time and this van has been sold. I'm in the process of looking for my next project, when that happens I plan to do another batch of how-to videos for these vans as I've been receiving requests for more projects. Hopefully things will settle down a bit in the next week and I can get back to editing some videos I do have for these vans. Stay tuned!
My van has been making a slow turn sound, brief, before starting ad normal. I went to buy a starter since the original is still on the '05, and the auto parts store tested it and said it was fine about 10 days ago. Alternator and battery are 2yrs old. Now nothing happens. Nothing! So hopefully your informative video will get me through this. Not sure I know where to put the jack...starting at the very beginning but money is tight so it's on me to do it. Thanks!
Good job how about fixing a ford van latch broken
Thank you Teddy. Unfortunately (or maybe it's actually "fortunately") I haven't had to replace one of those so I'm sorry but I'm not much help on that one.
Great Video!! Just changed my sons starter, your steps made it very clear. Thank You.
Yo man thank you so much you just made me so much money I'm trying to trade my van for a truck and my starter is burnt up thank you so much for posting this video
Project 0 - I'm very glad to hear my video helped you with your project and your trade! Thank you for taking the time to post some feedback, I really appreciate you doing that for me. Enjoy your new truck!
Your advice was spot on. 45 minutes not including the trip to the auto supply store thanks agan!!
@d tomala - Awesome! Super glad to hear my video was able to help you. Thank you for taking a moment to return and leave me some feedback - much appreciated!
When hooking up the signal wire does it click? Or is it more of just getting it snug into the plug? I noticed mine has red clips similar to the ones on the radiator fan plugs but my van crunk I’m just unsure if it’s good to go or maybe it’s a loose connection and want to take precaution
Concise and clear video with good camera work. Best of its type. Doesn't treat the viewer as an idiot with tool descriptions and superfluous info.
Hoping you see this… the signal wire doesn’t seem to want to “pull off “ at all. We have a 2007. Is there possibly a clip and how would we detach it?
thanks. such a nice video. bit confused about the nuts. i have 2006 grand caravan.
on drivers side i saw you remove the double nut holding ground wire.
I saw you remove a second nut towards the left of the ground nut. isn't there a third on that same side?
I didn't see a third nut removed by you. maybe i missed it.
Where is it, because i know new starter comes with 3 nuts. and i saw another video showing 3 nuts removed on drivers side of a 2006.
Please advise
Java, great vids. Thought it was my starter but it appears to be a problem with the shifter, I can move it around and get it to start. Also starts every time in neutral. Took steering wheel covers off and I can’t see where the electrical safety is. Do you have a vid on this and a fix?
One of the best freaking Automotive videos on the internet. Nice job.
@Robert - Wow Robert, what a great compliment! Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
I would like to have seen you remove that top bolt from the view above because I find it impossible to get a ratchet with an extension and deep socket parallel to the ground ( to keep from rounding the head of the bolt )with those transmission lines in the way. How did you manage to do that ?
I'm slowly getting started and I look up so I know the easy fastest route I woulda fought that too bolt from the bottom lol u helped me get done in 20 min
I think that's the cleanest Town and country from that era I have ever seen. Oil pan gasket is new also. The plug wires, valve covers exhaust etc. was all clean, does that vehicle ever see the road? Definitely not a Midwest van.
Great video, and appreciate being able to hear! Could NOT get the 15mm nut loose (under the ground wire) without the angled power driver tho! I did buy several (many) tools that still wouldn't get me to it, until I removed the fan and the upper radiator hose. After that, I could have gotten it from the start! Not unusual for me, I usually wind up acquiring more tools during a job!
Glad to hear you got the job done Fred. I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I have gained many a new tool the exact same way. LOL Good news, fewer runs for tools as they accumulate! Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks to your very concise video I successfully changed my mother-in-laws starter on her 07 town &country but when I tried taking off the signal wire, the plastic piece that protects the connection completely crumbled to pieces. I was still able to get it back on the new starter and it feels snuck but I’m worried it might cause some issues down the line for example it getting wet. Anyone have any recommendations or is it not that big of a deal?
You're very welcome for the video, I'm glad to hear you found it helpful. I too have had that plastic piece break when changing a starter. My solution was to get one off of another van at the salvage yard. I just made sure to solder the connection and seal it with heat shrink to keep it preserved. It's possible the dealer may have one of those pigtails in stock. Many times a connector like that works for several different models so you could try there as well. I hope this helps point you in the right direction. I apologize for my delayed response, I've been away from YT for a little bit.
Are both battery cables connected to the starter? Also, what is the correct way to connect a battery charger to an 06 Grand Caravan? Love your videos. New subscriber.!
Excellent video! No b.s., just info you need to do the job! Like the heads up about the starter shim, and torque values. The hardest part is always figuring out how to do a job and with what tools. You have taken the hard part out of doing this job. Thanks
Thank you for the compliment Don. I always try to be clear and straight forward with my instructions to save folks some time and hassle. Super glad to hear the video was helpful to you. Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment!
Good job, do you have a video on replacing the altrinator for a 2014 T and C Van???
Great job sir!
Very good video and easy to see everything!
@Todd Stallard - Thank you very much for the compliment! I really appreciate you stopping by and taking a few moments to leave me some feedback. Much appreciated!!
Thank you for this video. I'm going to change the starter on my grandpa's '07 Dodge Caravan. This video will definitely come in handy.
@Moises Frausto - You're very welcome and thank you for the compliment! I really enjoy reading comments like this and see my videos are able to help folks get their repairs done. Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment - much appreciated!
Hey Javo - regarding this van - Tell me : (1) Is the oil engine cap sealed or can I refill it myself? (2) Is the transmission cap sealed or can I refill it myself? (3) Is the power steering cap sealed or can I refill it myself? (Thanks)
@KeepOnKeepKeepingOn - In terms of being able to refill or add fluid on the 2001 - 2007 models your answers are Yes, Yes & Yes. The engine oil cap (for adding oil) is located on the front valve cover, however there is a removable dipstick (for checking fluid level) located towards the front of the engine bay on the right hand (passenger) side. The oil dipstick has a yellow handle at the top. The transmission has a tube located on the left hand (driver) side of the engine that has a removable dipstick (for checking fluid level) with a yellow handle. You would also add your transmission fluid in that tube. When checking your transmission fluid the vehicle needs to be running and the engine warmed up to get an accurate measurement. Your power steering reservoir is located on the top of the engine, left hand (driver) side. It has a fluid level indicator on the side of the reservoir and to add fluid you would simply remove the cap and pour the fluid in. *** Be careful to not overfill any of these three liquids when adding!!! *** Don't get confused, when speaking of the left hand or right hand sides of a vehicle that is from a perspective of sitting in the driver seat facing forward. Example: Here in the USA, Right hand (or RH) is the passenger side and Left hand (or LH) is the driver side. Also, make sure your vehicle is sitting on a flat, level surface when checking your fluid levels.
Hope that helps you. Thanks for stopping by!
Great video!!! Any idea why there is not a third bolt on the starter? There is a hole for the third bolt but I've only seen one video where someone got a bolt to go in the third hole.
That was very amazing and in depth view work on how to do if my starter just went out on my wife plan and I'm going to be doing ours today. Thank you for putting out that content. And that hat is absolutely phenomenal brother. God bless.
@Charles j - Hi Charles. Super glad to hear you found my video to be helpful
and you're very welcome for the content. My wife keeps telling me to get rid of my "old hat" and get a new one but I keep telling her that it's kind of what I'm known for. Besides, I like it! So thanks for pointing it out, I'm going to show her your comment now, LOL. I really appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me some feedback - thank you. Good luck on your project, you got this!
great job, plain and simple thanks!
@Miguel Orbe - You're very welcome and thank you very much for the compliment. Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment - much appreciated!
Thanks for the information,
GOD bless you
Goodness gracious, my dads caravan compared to this one looks brand new. My dads motor was abused and neglected. This Motor so clean it’s crazy. He’s got a bad leaking valve gasket. Gummy burned oil every where.
@Michael Monsanto - Hi Michael, these motors definitely are known to leak at the valve covers and oil pan gasket. Neither job is too bad to take on but they can sure coat the motor with grime when leaking. The first thing I always do before starting my repairs is to clean the motor real good. This makes the repair go easier and helps identify leaks. Here's a video I did on how I clean the motor on these vans: ruclips.net/video/aZJ6i-7CO5w/видео.html

@Jason S - Say it isn't so!! LOL! I hope not, but if it does I hope my video will be able to help you get the job done. Fingers crossed for you.... Thanks for stopping by and putting a smile on my face today!
Would you happen to have a video of you replacing the flywheel on that same van?
Did you put the front of the car up on jack stands?
Best explanation and video of the actual location and ease of replacement. Now to change my starter
@bamsbbq - Thank you very much for the compliments! I hope you will find my video helpful to you as you do your project. Please let me know how it goes. Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment - much appreciated!
Great video, thanks a lot. It really helped me figure out o how to get that top screw and nuts out without disassembling fans etc. Keep it up body.
Awesome Juan! Super glad to hear my video was able to help you. These type of comments really make my day!
great job explaining
Thanks Joel!
Are these caravans and town and country vans really cheap in Texas?
Totally snapped the ground terminal from the top bolt. YAY ME!
@SWAB737800 - Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. It's repairable, it's just going to take a little work and patience. I wish you the best on this, hopefully everything else will go smoothly for you.
This video makes it look easy. It took me 4 hours to do this job. But, I'm no mechanic. Everything is tight and hard to get to to. The metal plate is a pain.
Hi Greg. It certainly helps when you've done the job many times, so that helps me get through it so quickly. I'm glad to hear you were able to get your project completed. Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment.
One if the best vids on this. Thank you!
Good Job J....
Thank you very much!
Do you ever recommend dialectic grease to prevent corrosion?
That top bolt was a pain...doing this outside in the cold was FUN, NOT. Thanks for the help.
You're welcome!
You make that look so easy lol I had a hard time with mine 🤦 🤣
Thank you so much my brother, your video was so helpful. I appreciate your good heart.
You're very welcome and I'm super glad to hear my video was helpful to you. I appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment. Thank you!
Thank you for your video it was very helpful, great mechanic.
Hi Anthony, I'm glad it helped you!
Thank you so much. Great video on changing the starter
@Yawanathan - You're very welcome! Thank so much for the compliment and taking a moment to leave me some feedback, much appreciated!
So in other words. They make it hard to get your hands in there. Have to have flexible hands. Lol
Bingo! My friends and I always laugh about how many of these things are designed by someone who has never turned a wrench or actually worked on something like it before production. It seems all cars have their quirks though. I appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment. Thank you.
a real nice guy.thank you for being short and precise.you made my week.
@MICHAEL PAZ - Well thank you very much for the compliments! It always puts a big smile on my face to hear one of my videos has been able to help someone with their project. Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment - much appreciated!
My starter is stuck on bell housing help
Thank you Javo!
@Shoppy Sharp - You're very welcome! Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to leave a comment, I really appreciate it!
To the point. Good instruction. Complete procedure. Good video. Back ground music leveled right and not nauseating. Nice video embellishments. I'm a subscriber now, and I don't subscribe to RUclips let alone make comments. Thank you. Good job.
Thank you! This was very helpful.
@TP slim - You're very welcome! I'm really glad my video was able to help you out. Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me some feedback, much appreciated!
Thanks Javo. Got her done with your help. Now it's making a grinding noise. Any reason why it would not be properly aligned? Thanks again!
Great video - saved me lots and time and money!
thanks
You're welcome!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
You sound like jigsaw Jeff
hardest part by far was getting signal cable off
@Jessica Tkach - I have had some other comments on that signal wire Jessica. It sounds like that little connection can really give some folks problems. I think this is caused by corrosion and just makes it harder to disconnect from the starter. I've had a few give me some problems but not too bad. I think it may have something to do with the part of the country you're in, but it's only a theory. Sorry you had some trouble with that. I appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment - thank you.
Excellent instructions and visuals! Tools that need to be used is a big plus. Thank You Sir.
I viewed a couple different videos and yours by far made it easiest. Especially because its the same year as mine. Thanks a lot!
did you do that from under the car
Amazing! Going to order from your amazon link.
Thank you very much!
This video helps inexperienced people like me understand how to fix vehicles without paying a ton !
Very helpful. Thank you for making this video!
Excelent job on the video sir, I'm not a mechanic and your video made it easy for me, thank you for that, I just subscribed to your channel, I have a question, do you take problem request so to speak, like for the same vehicle in this video?
@MrConde2222 - Thank you very much for the compliment! I really try to do my videos in such a way that someone with no experience would be able to perform the repair so your comment just leaves me with a massive smile. I'm certainly no DJ but I'm always happy to take requests, LOL! What is the problem you're having? I will be happy to help if possible.
@@javosgarage
😂😂 I know DJ right,,, ok my problem is, the sliding doors on my 2003 Town and country limited, work sometimes, I usually have to open them manually then they work, I've been, it could be the relays, or it could be the contacts, idk, and not knowing where to find all this or trouble shoot, not having knowledge is frustrating, thank you for any help, and your welcome I really do like the way you explain everything, easy to fallow, good content really, GB.. 👍
@MrConde2222 - VERY common issue on these vans. 95% certain your problem is in the wiring harness located at the bottom of the entry into your van where the sliding door closes. If you look down in there you will see a wiring harness inside of a black, plastic drag chain protector. What happens is the large, black wire (sometimes others) in that harness begins to crack. When this begins, it starts out as an intermittent door not opening/closing problem and then escalates to the door not working at all as the break in the wire gets worse.
You have two options here:
1. Replace the harness with a new one such as this - amzn.to/2Ri19Ef
Each door (left hand or right hand) uses a different wiring harness. This one is for the left hand (driver) side. Different options of your van can affect it too so make sure you enter your info into the fitment guide and read the description carefully to make sure it matches up to your van.
2. Remove the harness from your van, locate the break in the wire, repair and install back into the van. Quite frankly, I just repair the break and reinstall the harness. When performing the repair I will solder the wires and use heat shrink to seal it off. I have seen some people do a butt splice connector with success. Not the way I would go because soldering is much stronger and will function better IMHO due to the movement of the harness.
Either way, I would remove the harness and do an inspection to verify. I will bet you will find the solution to your problem is there.

Excellent I will do that, thank for replying, 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍
@MrConde2222 - Hey "MrConde", just touching base to see if you've had some time to look at your door issue. Were you able to get it fixed? If so, what was the problem? If you need any more help just let me know.
Thank you!! For this video it was very helpful.
Excellent video....great (as others have mentioned) you have the socket sizes.
As an improvement, I always clean the bolts and various terminals (signal wire, ground, starter connection) before installation. That area gets a lot of road grime.
Thank you! I wish all YT vids were like this.
Great tip Glenn, thanks for leaving it here to help others. I really appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment.
Video was a huge help, it took longer to let the engine cool down that it did to replace the starter.
Great detail, thanks
Thank you so much my brother,
your instruction was extra ordinary and I could replace my starter in 60 minutes
Without your video probably would’ve taken me hours if I could get it Dan at all. Thank you again.
That is awesome! So glad to hear my video was able to help you with your job. I really appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment. Thank you!
Love it! Super clear and stable video (plenty of shaky ones out there!) Thanks for helping me locate the upper bolt - never would have looked under the ground. Keep up the good work! Blessings to you and your helpful videos!
Glad it helped you! Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment.
Great teaching Buddy, Thanks
You're very welcome and thank you very much for the compliment!
Excellent video
Excelente video me gustó saludos desde San Diego California
Thank you so much, your little tip on the plate between the starter and its mounting spot, i struggled for a half hour before i turned to youtube.
You saved my sanity thank you.
Awesome! Super glad to hear my video was able to help you. Thanks for stopping by!
