Thank you for taking the time to make this video! The dealer wanted $720 to replace my wife's starter. After watching this tutorial I knew I was capable of doing this job and was going to save a lot of money!
I just came from Honda who told me the prematurely failing starter on the 13, 14, and 15 Accords is a known problem so it pisses me off to NO end that there is not a recall. They wanted $175 to diagnose it plus another $700 to replace it. I stormed out enraged and destined to find a video on You Tube. Thanks very much for this video!
take it to your local mechanic will be lot less than 700. and yes I have changed starter motor on Hondas with 33K mileages only. or try calling manufacture directly they should know the issue at least
Im also really grateful for your video you have good explanation skills and are probably bi lingual so mad props to you my friend i did my starter with this video works great
I'll be going over 100,000 on my 2014 Honda Accord by the end of the week. I'm having starter issues now. I guess I am lucky. Thank you for your video.

Thanks for this man! I just changed the starter on my wife’s 2015 Accord with these instructions. Took me exactly an hour with the car on ramps since I have no lift but it went relatively smooth. SUBSCRIBED!
@RBTheMechanic thanks! I watched three or four videos before I started, but yours was the one that walked me through it. And if anyone is wondering, mine is a manual, and steps were all the same.
@@RBTheMechanic thank you! Will I also be able to find a good starter in about any shop? How can I tell a good one if it’s not the original Honda part? Should I just go with the Honda part?
Thanks for the helpful video. I've got a 2015 CR-V which has the same engine and it helped. I didn't need to remove the black plastic bracket though. I had enough room to get it out with it still there.

My brother and I just finished this job a week and a half ago… I have no idea why Honda put the starter down back there. I loved it when they used to put it right under the battery.
Thanks for the video. I need to swap out the starter assembly cable that goes to the battery. The thing corroded to $hit. Know of a video for that procedure? That cable snakes around like heck. Also, is it necessary to remove the starter to swap that cable?
VL914 not common problem prolly not a video out there but you don’t have to let it snake all around just cut and disable the cable let it sit there and re rout another cable just make sure it tied down and doesn’t get pulled or hit the axle any other moving parts
How did you fix the grinding noise upon installing the new starter? You can clearly tell there is the sound after you start the car for the third time. Mine is doing the same.
No this one is not making noise only on first start up but no sound I had had customer bring me online purchased parts that said honda on it and I LOL anyways where did u buy ur part from
@@RBTheMechanic my friend who owns a parts business. Well, how would you go about to fix the grinding noise issue? It was a bitch to uninstall and install. But since I know what I’m working with now, I’d be ok with going in to do it again if I can get some advice as to why this is happening.
@@jmc224 can u make small video and post it let me hear it and then pull out the starter and see if there’s making on the gear on starter and flywheel/flex plate if it got marking defiantly wrong starter over and over been through that
@@RBTheMechanic I actually just replaced the newly remanufactured one with a salvaged one and it works without issue AND without the metallic grinding issue.
Great video man. Got the same car. This might sound wierd but I just changed my starter, now, when I tried to put my car on reverse it goes forward, 3 lights pop up, the check maintenance, battery, and oil. When i shut the car down. It works good. I dont know if i hit something down there. But it concerns me a bit. Hope you could help me! Thanks
I have a 2014 Honda Accord Sport and came across the same issues with the starter. Car starts on first two or three try's sometimes then others will take 10 to 20 minutes before car even starts. I am currently looking at pricing a starter because the dealership is trying to charge me right under $1000 to replace it. Autozone and Napa range from $150- $279.99 Ebay sells remanufactored starters ranging from $85-118.95 (with 1 year warranty) I have a trusted mechanic to install just wanted to inquire about more trustworthy sources to price from
saphirejewelscoward yeah common problem I have done few of these in past year just to give u estimated price if you go to your regular mechanic labor is around $190. And the starter is also about $200 plus tax so around over $400 is fair price for this job it’s not so difficult please subscribe
Hey man My accord just passed 100k And It started taking 3-8 times pressing ignition to get my car to start. I noticed I usually have to lock and re-unlock my car to get it to start. Could the issue be something else other than the starter?
Don’t have to take none of these brackets off I did this job on my back with a 2 ton jack angling the starter was a hassle but still done in less than a hour
john jkizer your not taking out the sensor just disconnecting it it will make it easier for harness to move around or u will damage the wiring it will get yanked/pulled. And please subscribe. Let me know how it went anything else u want to ask just msg me
I changed my 2014 honda accord starter and its working well but there is a difference when start the car its making the starting sound twice. But before its was normal sound. Why is that? Please reply me its very important
@@gagansidhu6102 well either u have wrong starter if it continues I never had that happne I had one customer bring me starter it even said honda on it it make loud noise on ever crank then I pulled out the starter again ofc labor doubled since it was his part and the gear was too big on the starter it’s hard to tell and say but it just was not correct I replaced it with one I purchased and sound was gone
I thought my battery had went bad I took battery out of the car n had it checked 100 percent charged on 2 different testers I reinstalled battery n hit start button n got a message above the stereo to enter the anti theft codes. I bought the car used n have no idea what these are. If I put a new starter in the car will these anti theft codes it's asking for keep the car from starting sir??
Yes it will activate the lock every time u take battery off anyways what year make model is ur car. Usully the car is in the manual book with code on it also it’s hand written in the book also dealer can get it for u and usully there’s stickers on side of glove box of code
@@hottoddy1071 oh ok look in the manual books see if it’s written there or there’s a card also look on side of glove box for small sticker it could also be attached where ur sunglasses on top goes
Excellent video, Very explained, but you end is horrible like my experience, Your aftermarket replacement Bosch starter is doing the same as my remanufactured starter Bosch SR1355x that I just replaced few hours ago in a 2014 honda accord EXL, CVT automatic, 2.4L engine. With only 40k, One owner. The sound of the Bosch starter when crank is not normal (BEWARE) is not right if you noticed your AUDIO by the end. Yes the car crank but make noise like the pinion material is grinding the flex plate, for me look like the material is cheap in the Bosch and can damage the flex plate in the transmission soon, which will be cost over $1000 work if you damage the flex plate because now you have bring down the transmission. My OEM Mitsuba SM-74009 was super smooth when starting (typical honda starter sound) but the Bosch definitely is more metallic sound like blending metals. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO BUY REMANUFACTURED BOSCH AS YOUR AFTERMARKET CHOICE FOR 2013-2106 HONDA STARTER. FRUSTRATED DOUBLE JOB AND DOUBLE HEADACHE IN RETURN AND WILL GET BACK TO OEM (COST MORE BUT YOU GET QUALITY AND PEACE OF MIND). Thanks for you video this is nothing personal is just trying to help people to avoid future inconvenience.
So what did you do to fix the problem of the metallic grinding? This isn’t something we should leave unattended and should be addressed right away. I’m having the same issue and trying to figure out what to do.
I didn’t take off the bracket with 3 bolts. And I can say taking off was probably a good idea. I still got it done. But 1 hour later😂 and having the right tools right away and a lift would’ve helped
Yup I decided to do that at first on many of these ho da starter jobs but I always ended up taking it off makes it more easier but 1 hour is good better than good!!
I replaced mine with the same brand and model that you used and it makes the same noise that yours did when you start it at the end of the video. Almost like the gear is coming out too far. Is that normal on the Bosch starters. The original starter never sounded like that. Thanks in advance
ZAY WILL I’m 31k miles and I’m still going on the original starter. Do you recommend I buy a new starter for maintenance inventory? I’m getting the feeling this will haunt me at an inconvenient time.
Zeekwayne just replaced it yesterday. The car cranked like brand new. I bought a rebuilt oem unit on eBay. $65. Saved me the trouble of towing the car to a shop and paying the mechanic $300 labor + 280+ for a new starter
The back bolt was super difficult to put back in, i Finally got it but still seems loose, is the back bolt very hard to tighten? Or should it go in smooth?
MusicbySoy then you need to take it out started should be loose did you tighten the other bolt cuz one bolt will hold it down tight and it should not move
I would not want to do this on my back in my driveway. Oil change, tranny fluid, bakes, hubs, etc. I will do and save $$$, to pay for jobs like the starter. Dealerships suck...I have found a shop that is happy to charge me labor using my parts. So, I buy Honda parts and have them install for me. Everyone wins except the local Honda dealer.
@@RBTheMechanic Thanks, I was able to squeeze my left hand back there and guide the bolt with the bolt attached to the socket with my right hand. Fun stuff.

@@RBTheMechanic Thanks, I was able to squeeze my left hand back there and guide the bolt with the bolt attached to the socket with my right hand. Fun stuff.
@@ryanzmery1 yup that’s the way
Thanks man!! That help me on a 2014 Acura ILX.
I spend 142 Dollars for the starter and one hour
They wanted to charge me 675$ Dollars with labor

Waiting when you get to work on BMW
My Honda Accord 2014 has already gone through 2 starters at only 33k miles. They might have something wrong.
MIGUEL, JR NAVA Yeah the problem is bad design this starter dosent have external solenoid like old school starters. All the cars in my shop also had between 30-50k miles only
And people saying BMW don’t last but Honda last. Whatever all car have their issues.
I have the same issue of 2013 honda accord with key turns.
sam andrew bad starter common problem started goes quick on these Honda’s in few years I think honda gonna make startermotors that will need replacement every 10k milages
@@RBTheMechanic I got 203k miles on my 2014 accord before the starter starting acting up
Thanks to my extended warranty it was covered
NYGiants Champs lucky you .. how many milages your car had this starter fails so quick I have had customers with 30k 50k miles 60k too erly
@@RBTheMechanic 80,000 starter went . a week b4 I had issues accelerating when I stepped on the gas .there was a big delay .definitely not safe. Valve in transmission needed to be replaced. Extended warranty covered that as well. Thank God. Honestly I always said " I shouldn't have bought the warranty. Its a waste ". Especially on Honda's which are pretty reliable . Its good till November so after that I'm on my own lol. Or may trade in for the new accord .( hate the taillights though)
NYGiants Champs yeah Honda’s r pretty good just these new ones have issues here and there
How much?
This job is like 430$
I’m on my 3rd starter on a 2014 Honda Accord coupe 😩😩😩😩 I hate that there is no recall! Wtf!
No recall I put remy starter been 4 years still running
@@RBTheMechanic I got 190k on my 2014 accord and still have the original starter bought my car brand new as well
@@natedogg8648 lucky u
@@RBTheMechanic I was reading that they normally fail around 40-50k miles but most of my Miles are all Highway
@@natedogg8648 yeah all of my customers failed around 40-55k miles
Does it matter how many teeth? on Advance Auto one has 11 teeth an the other has 9 teeth that says will fit
Yes it matters has to be same other wise u will mess up the fly wheel
@@RBTheMechanic even tho it's available online as to say it fits?
@@RBTheMechanic it's says both fits
I wouldn’t even take the chance
@@RBTheMechanic thanks and good video
Hello, The Bosch starter are any good ? other wise i will thinking to rebuild the original .
dabell12 yeah they are good if you can rebuild I would do that
@@RBTheMechanic it looks like Honda parts for rebuild starter are not to expensive . Thank you RB

Are you in California. Specifically la or ie areas?
NO Im in North New Jersey
NO NEW JERSEY
Bracket does not have to be remove
blshotlexusjay it don’t but for those who might pull that cable will not be good idea
Point taken just realized that is not the same accord I did it ...it was a 2014 accord 2.4 4 cyln exl
Is this the V6?
No it’s 4cyl
Does it change where the starter is ??
My 05 crv starter still work fine after 13 years and 163k miles.
Nice keep ur fingers crossed! My 04 accord lasted 11 years but these newer cars they don’t last as long as older models
Can someone start a class action suit against honda for this issue ( starter failing prematurely ) on the honda accords 9th gen models . My 2014 honda accord had just 60 k miles and the starter failed . I was charged $1100 by the dealer to replace it.
Every would have to come togather and sign up with proof and approach a lawyer this and ABS module
How many teeth does your starter have? I have a 2014 Honda Accord coupe 2.4 so it should be the same one
Good question but I don’t have answers I didn’t count I’ll do that for new videos
Just changed on a 2015 Honda Accord Sport 4 cyl and the starter had 9 teeth on mine.
RB Paji, I had the starter on my car changed but it looks like it got messed up....I’m going to link my video below this can you tell if it’s the starter part that’s messed up or did the install go wrong? Maybe something with the flywheel? Hopefully the shop didn’t mess it up
th-cam.com/video/CpXbBigXjVY/w-d-xo.html
that sounds terrible have them check it out. sounds like something is getting damaged do make anymore attempt to start. they have to pull out the starter and check
This stinks!! You can remove the starter from the top
Yeah if you wanna take the whole engine out.
@@jmc224 I had no problem taking it out from the top
@@samsoninthepit enlighten me as to what you had to remove from the top to get to the starter?
@@samsoninthepit and was yours a 9th Gen Honda Accord?
