Thank you for being the only resource to show me WHERE my starter is so I can tap to start it! I’m not going to attempt to change it myself but really saved my tail in a pinch.
Glad my video was helpful. Also if your Explorer is NOT 4 wheel drive it’s easier to get to without the front differential in the way. If you’re just gonna tap it with a hammer you can easily crawl under the front driver side and tap it without taking the tire and splash shield off like I did.
@@RCProperties-c3r so tapping your starter with a hammer is only a temporary fix. Sometimes it works and sometimes it won’t depending on how old your starter is. You can lightly tap the side of the starter while someone turns the key. You can also try tapping the solenoid which is the small section where your wires connect to. DONT tap on the wires with the hammer. You can check your wire connections as well make sure there clean and nice and tight. If none of these work I highly recommend just replacing the starter so you don’t have to worry about getting stranded and save yourself the headache.
Thanks for the video, def looks hard to get eyes on but easy to do. Idk if u know but RockAuto has these parts for less then half the price. Just saying i know they have a warranty but in my experience they never uphold warranties. I can do three of these for that one time price lol
