$10 Hyundai Starter Fix
Hey Brian! As a recovering mechanic/technician who's worked on trucks, equipment, cars, motorcycles and boats I just wanted to give you a shoutout for an excellent video and also saving me from just going out and getting a replacement starter. I had a good idea what the issue was but had no idea Hyundai used a plastic fork in the starter. Not surprised as I've already had Hyundai replace the plastic internal P/S coupler under their extended warranty. Oh and as it's not my vehicle Sis thanks you too! Keep up the wonderful work and I've subscribed to your channel. Pete from Pennsylvania
Replacing the broken bit, rather than buying a new one! Respect.
I pay for machine 530 dollor to fix same thing
Excellent job , I had a 2013 and starter went out,,, parked in the middle of a mud hole , pulled the air filter housing and plumbing , throttle body, I did not remove the intake, had the old starter out and a new one installed In under 1 hour !! It can be done without going under and without pulling the intake!!
man i wish you could do a vid of that. it would be nice to see someone do it without taking out the intake, i have a 2013 as well and it seems i just cant see the starter without removing intake
The key step is to remove the bolt holding the dual oil line bracket. This gives you the room to work the starter past the hoses. There's a 4 bolt bracket that others had removed by mine must have been a little different because mine was not in the way.
How I need help my Azera has been stuck in driveway since January I miss this car bad I bought a truck and gets bad gas mpg
Thank you very much for your video! My son's 2012 Hyundai Sonata had the same issue. He had it towed to the dealership (before seeing you video) & they wanted to charge him $650!!! We bought the part for $7 & change. I followed your video, pulled out the starter, replaced the plastic starter switch & reinstalled the starter. Worked like a charm!! The only tool I didn't have was the car lift.. My back wished that I had one!! Thanks again for your detailed video!
Adam
Thanks so much for this video. I did the job today. Now I do not have a lift, but I put the car on jack stands and got it done. The part cost me $8.60 with tax. Took me 5 hours but I only have hand tools. Got it done, works like a charm. I must say that it is a pretty stupid design to make that out of plastic instead of a lightweight metal that would last a lifetime.
We did find that removing the plastic air intake stuff and the battery box made getting to the starter bolts very easy from the top. Those parts came off very easily and quickly.
So you didn't have to remove the intake manifold and throttle body? Asking because I too have to remove from the top and everyone is saying I'll have to remove intake manifold and throttle body but if all I have to remove is battery tray and air box then it'll be a lot easier.
@@IronHide3910 took me 2 hrs but im mechanically savvy and have a wobble socket 14mm to make the rear starter bolt much easier, no need to remove anything but the battery Wires**( I do both for peace of mind), go from the bottom. remove both splash guards 10mm, the 2 starter bolts14mm, electrical connector and power nut 13mm. Starter pops right out. NO need to take anything off or even jack the car up if your smaller in stature like me. For the actual "fix" theres 2, t20 star bit csrews and 2, 7mm bolts to disassemble the starter. Id mark it to be safe but hold it like Brian did in the video. Then pop off the damaged fork, pop the new one on, grease helps at the forks edge. Reassemble in reverse order. Make the starter bolts "guut 'N Tight"
I am having this same sound, same issue on my 2009 Sonata 2.4L 4 cylinders. From a few Facebook posts I searched, some saying it is about same location for starter on my model. I don't have a lift either, just hand tools. Probably I will get a floor jack and jack stand this weekend Black Friday.
Thanks for the best tutorial of this on TH-cam.
Completed entire job including starter repair in about an hour.
Bless you for posting this!!! I just did this repair today on a 2011 Santa Fe. Called the dealership at 4:00 to find the lever and it is now 8:00 and the job is done. This is my 19 y/o daughter's car. She's a college student and you just helped her (me) save probably $400. THANK YOU!!
Just did this fix 2 days ago on my fiance's 2012 Sonata. It works took a couple hrs to do. Part cost $12 saved me hundreds versus buying the entire starter. Thanks brianmobile1
I just did the $8 plastic fork replacement OEM part. I went in from the top and it was easy. I noticed the new OEM part did not have hollow channels in it like the original fork. Afterwards I JB Welded the original broken fork back together. When it broke the seams fit perfectly against each other. Anyhow I added a small of of JB in the seam of the broke section, filled in the hollow channels and then add some around the area of where it was broken on the outside and carefully let is set overnight. I now cannot break the part in half with my hands. As hard as I can to twist and torque it, it will not break. So I'll throw it in the glove box for a back road break down if I need it. :). What a bad design. And they sold hundreds of thousands of cars for 5/6 years with this part in it.
Just really wanna say thank you for this very educational in depth video because my wife is highly upset that her car has this issue. It’s no telling how much we would have come outta pocket with a shop but it people like you the hold America’s integrity so thanks again God bless you. :)
Thank you. We just followed your directions and replced the lever and now the car works. The part was $12.60 and they had it in stock at the dealer. Your advice was spot on. We did remove manifold and take it out from the top.
This is the same sound my sonata has been making. I could not find a video anywhere that would help me. Thank you. Good jokes as well. Now I'm going to try to duplicate what you did.
Fix has now been completed. My starter is working like brand new. Thanks a lot
That Milwaukee ratchet is the best tool I ever had. Using it for 2 years now and it's still running strong
Amazing tool, Prob my top 3 best tool purchases EVER
Your’re a gentleman and a scholar! I have my 2012 Sonata on jack stands and have all the brackets loosened up. A little tougher doing things upside down! Now just need to get to the starter bolts. Looking forward to the simple rebuild. Many thanks for your excellent help!
Great Video! I just ran into this exact issue and this video saved me $600 of repair costs!!!
Am a mobile mechanic and you’re. My teacher !! Always straight to the point !!!
This video saved me $800 (dealership starter replacement) or at least $400 (cost of parts) plus I can repair this faster than I could order the part or have the dealership do it.
Plus the craziest part... the guy who makes these lives in the next town over from me!! I almost called his number to thank him myself but I didnt want to be annoying. So I liked and subscribed instead.
The starter took me 1hr to remove, 5min to get the broken plastic fork, and It will take me another 5min to replace it and probably another hour to install it.
Nice!
thanks to this video I was able to get the job done knowing what was wrong and a mechanic could not charge me for a new starter knowing all they had to do is replace the starter lever. This may be an Old video but it came in handy now.
Execellent video and easy to follow, good dispersant of humor. Good oops coverage on disassembly and how to put the brushes back in. Probably the BEST I’ve seen so far. My daughter and I made this our project to fix her car and had some good bonding time.
Thank you!! Saved me $575, to have my mechanic change my starter. I have the square frame on the bottom, so I had to remove the throttle body also. As a note, I drew a smiley face on my starter too.
Thanks, Brian! Just fixed starter on son's 2013 Kia Sorento by following your video.
Thanks for this video!!! I had ordered the starter from Amazon and then I saw this video and said well if I already have the starter, might as well try to fix it. Went to Hyundai and bought the piece for $10.24 and it was as easy as you said it was going to be. THANKS AGAIN BRIAN!! the only thing I did differently was I forgot to remove the bracket behind the starter (3:14) and even though it was a little hard getting it out, it was possible.
Dude, you are incredible! Awesome tutorial and delivery. Was considering buying a used Hyundai Sonata, now reconsidering after watching this because I know the "plastic fork" is one of many issues with this vehicle. Last starter I worked on was an '02 Camry 4-cyl. Removed from top in abt 20 mins, replaced end cap with new one (brushes). $15 part that Toyota parts mgr didn't even know existed til I had him order it. Saved $400 cuz dealer just replaces whole starter. Total time maybe 2 hrs.
Thanks again, you're really good at this!
DONT BUY ONE!!! you will be stranded a lot of the time or it will be at the dealership or your local mechanics shop more than you will be driving it. I promise
@@Tommy-qp7zv Didn’t! 😂
in the old days we used to use thread to hold brushes in holder to reassemble. a few spins of the rotor cut the thread releasing brushes.
Really good video Brian. I watched your other video with the bonus flying.
I had my own dream flying he damn thing and it wouldn't turn! I woke up on the floor with a bump on my head. I told my wife I wouldn't watch your videos before bed. I lied!!
Ha ha! That's funny. One of the reasons I'm doing this flying stuff is dreams I had of it as a kid. There was no motor and no wing, but I could fly while being upright and holding my hands above my shoulders.
THANK YOU for this video it saved me 260.00 on just the cost of a starter - one note called a dealership for the part and they did not know what I was talking about (their system shows only the whole starter). Called another one and they had the part in stock since they were use to dealing with it.
Thanks - it was big help today to fix my starter. 👍
I ended up removing the radiator fan and air box to access the bolts and remove the starter from the top since it was too hard from the bottom with jack stands.
Thanks for the great tutorial. The fork cost me less than $2 so it saved a lot of money.
that starter is a tight one to get to. I really like how you repaired the starter and did not replace with 'rebuilt' garbage! Take care man and happy paramotor sailing
Thanks brother!
Thank you brother! I have a new starter arriving tomorrow that I no longer have a need for. 👍👍 Great work!
Fantastic video, helped me a lot - biggest difference was getting in the right position to extract and install the starter, there's so much in the way!
Key to any car repair, is good tools and the right tools. I have learned that the hard way. I would get so frustrated working on my cars with the wrong tools. And have components removed quickly in seconds with the correct power tools lol
really helpful video. worth watching. I just bought the parts for 12.99 and fixed my starter and it worked perfectly. thank you for the video.
Mine was a 2013. Same issue but I did not have the luxury of having a dealer who stocked the fork. So I ended up with a rebuilt from AutoZone... lifetime guarantee. I've watched several videos on this started removal and some seem to have more room that others. Not sure if that's because of additional upgrades when the car was made but I had a hell of a time getting it back in. I finally found that the key was to have the solenoid on the very top of the starter when lining up but I had to drop the starter way back into a little open area so that the nose would clear. It won't go in nose first unless it way up in the cavity. It was a real knuckle buster too. Wear nitrile gloves!
Awesome video, did this on a Santa Fe Sport 2.4L with basically the same layout. Saved a ton!
Dude omg you saved me at least $250 If not $550 If I would have taken it to a shop. You're the best Brian. Oh yeah I worked the bolts from the top by removing the air cleaner and all connecting hoses on my 2010 Sonata for anyone who hasn't done this yet.
Maybe you could beef up the new fork with a little strip of fiberglass cloth and 5 min epoxy on the front and back. I would because that starter is a PITA to get to. Thanks for making your channel. You make the world a better place.
talon0863 thankfully Hyundai changed the fork to be solid necked instead of channeled like the faulty stock fork
I really like your on camera demeanor. Your have an enjoyable method of presenting.
Briansmobile1 you are a gentleman and a scholar! Followed your video, it worked like a charm! You saved me about $300!
Man you saved me atleast $300. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
Superb, Not the first time ive been on the channel but the first time you have helped me help someone else and it was moms. Thank You!
Giving this a try today. Hopefully I can do it. A $15 part is a lot better than a couple hundred bucks at a shop. Wish me luck.
I don't know if this helps or not, but the part number you need is a 36131 2G 100FFF. It cost $15 at the dealership here in Arizona.
Got the starter off without having to loosen the oil line bracket. I also took the battery off for easier access to the top bolt. Got the car jacked, starter removed and lever replaced last night. Doing the install tonight.
Did the install and it worked great. Thanks for the video. Saved me a few hundred bucks.
David Mentier wow AZ is more expensive than LA? I paid 8.90 for the part.
Did you have to go from the bottom too? Spoke with a Hyundai tech and he said if you remove intake and fan you can do it all from the hood. Do you think that's true?
PS your part was more expensive but the work "couple hundred" is a steal. Here in LA it would have cost 600 total with parts. Honestly mechanic would have probably just replaced lever and charged full price for part.
Hello, I am having what it seems the problem, 2011 Sonata, Phoenix AZ, I was wondering if you know if the dealer would repair this for free? I am about to consider doing all that you did myself too, and also how high did you jack your car? Thank you so much!
Thank you Briansmobile1!!! appreciate you taking the time to do this!
Buddy you just saved me like $650 I'm sure! Finished up a bit ago, cost me $8.50, the starter new from Hyundai was $380..lol. Thanks!
A great big thank you from WI! This tutorial solved on my 2011 Sonata starter issue.
That little 90 degree Milwaukee 3/8" cordless wrench is real nice!!!
When my 2012 Elantra developed a starter issue, I viewed multiple TH-cam videos to get the needed info, and decided to buy a new Milwaukee cordless socket wrench before I started the work. It was so useful in doing this work. I wish I had one many years ago.
I had to do one similar but the problem was a stripped out ring gear. Someone had overheated it as far I could tell. A rebuilt had the same problem from local part house passing all the tests on paper. OEM parts for rebuilds are still available. Thanks for the video.
What is the size for the star screw at 10:54? My tool box has T20 which is slightly smaller than the screw head, and T25 which too large to fit. Same goes my roommate’s set
This worked like charm - Thanks again!! The plastic lever cost me 8 bucks here in NY!
Thank you for this Brian. I'll be doing this today on my 2011. The part went up to $20 at Lindon Hyundai. But that's better than $400... :-). Thank you again and totally appreciate this.
Superb video quality and wonderful narration. This is my first time to your channel and I am already hooked!
Great video, thanks! Repaired an 11 sonata se yesterday. This worked like a charm although my tools aren't as nice.
Stupid plastic parts. Great vid, saved me a ton. I pulled the starter from the top after pulling the intake manifold away. Was probably equally frustrating. But got her done.
Ben Clapp I think that’s where I’m going with my ‘13 Elantra. Don’t have jack stands so might cost me a bit more to go from the bottom.
You do a great job on both video and explanations on this, terrific job.
While you are in there don't forget to put a dab of CV joint grease on those bushes on the motor shaft rear. Makes the starter a lot quieter. As well a tiny amount on the spiral gear to slow down the wear.
Reason for the nut being a 13mm is the thread on the stud is ISO metric M8, so the correct nut there is 13mm.
All that plastic, so absolutely no way to repair after any minor accident, and designed to fail after a few years of heating, though great if you are in a salted road area, but not anywhere else. You can see all the corroded alloy on the block in any case. Do you have to remove covers to drain the oil? Seems you need to to change the filter, unless you use the special tool to grab it.
Enjoyed watching that . With the commentary about the planes and helicopters . Plus I’m big on DIY . My 2013 Santa Fe ‘s starter was replaced bout a year ago and just took a crap today ! I suspect this might be my problem thank you . ☘️☘️
I have the same problem with my 2011 santa fe. Went to pull a part. They didn't have one for it, but they said the 2008 to 2013 sonatas were interchangeable, so I managed to get one off a 2009 sonata. Cost me $31, as opposed to the $275 auto zone, $285 advance auto, or $500 Firestone. Haven't swapped them yet, so don't know if it works. I am ordering the fork from hyundai. I did notice that the one I took off the sonata, doesn't slide back and forth if you tip it, so hopefully it's good. Thanks for the video, really needed the help.
Thanks a lot! even though i couldn't get lever here in Canada, all they offer is a 300CADs starter, i called quebec, ontario, alberta... all the same! still, your video saved me a lot of money, because i was lead to the right direction, to sum up, i ended up with a rebuild starter with 3 month warranty i changed it myself, cheers from Canada!
great job on the video. was able to have it all done and started in an hour after watching this, on jack stands.
Cracking nuts and comedy lines like
"got more play on it than a basketball court in the ghetto" and "mario brothers right here"
I wish I found this video while searching. I saw the fork part being sold separately so I thought that might be the problem. I have a new 2 year warranty starter arriving today but it only cost me $45 with tax and free shipping on ebay. I will get a fork and fix the original to have a backup. I think I will also put JB weld on the new fork to strengthen it. Thanks!
Great video. The only things I would do different is anti-size all the nuts and bolts before putting them back on. Learned long ago I might have to work on the same stuff again in the future and it makes it easier to put stuff back together.
Brian, I hope you realize how awesome you are. God bless you dude.
I really appreciate that Jerry. I'm just doing the best I can. Sometimes people like it, other times they hate my guts! Most people appreciate it though fortunately.
+briansmobile1 seems like there will always be haters in this world. There are people that hate Jesus and he was perfect, so consider yourself in good company. Just know that you are a tremendous blessing to so many. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Good job on the video man awesome save me almost $300 problem was easy to fix and the part was cheap the part was only $6.80 at the dealership
Super helpful video. Thanks for this.
Excellent explanation and no foreign accent thanks
The summer my father died the starter on our car also died. Now the man of the family, I remember pulling the starter and repairing it. I was ten.
I bet you've learned a lot of stuff like that you might have missed out on. My dad was a mechanic, but he was gone 3 weeks a month. So I was the same way. I had to handle about everything like that.
Thanks Brian for this great video. Now I know what the problem is and able to get the right fix for the right price. I would do it if I had the space and the tools but do not, so have to pay the experts. If they do the job like you, it will be money well spent.
Love the Apache shots.. can't hear for vid may as well go watch! And you sidetracked me with the bonus at the end!!??!! Is that a para sail or fixed wing type ? I am an airplane lover (unless it's a passenger jet)(especially going thru TSA bs...) my dad was member of Historic Aircraft Group (HAG) and we frequently hung at Geneseo airport (the greatest show on turf..) he helped restore their C-47 named W-7, and got a ride!! He was also involved in resto of the Memphis Belle, the gang gave me several spark plug rings at his calling hours, and is buried with one on his finger...☹️😉sad but so cool!! I have been involved in RC aircraft from planes (I like 3/D ones dad used to call them flying suppositorys🤣😁) to helicopters and gas powered RC racing boats!! So cool to see your video! Oh right sidetracked again... I remember changing the bendix on the old hot rods I used to drive(before house and kids🙄) and thought it sounded like a bendix issue on wife's Sonata.. sure beats spending 100+$ on a starter!! Thanks man!!
Thank you, thank you, than you. You probably saved me over 300$. Just did it to my 2013 sonata and now we're running just fine for $8.69 LMAO 🤣. This video is truly amazing and so are you. Cheers 🍻
very thorough, you put alot of effort in giving us a view when you're able, and you explain stuff like you should.
I don't trust Feit electric stuff. Had one of their CFL (60 watt replacement bulbs) start smoking on us in the house. Plastic housing started to burn. Good thing we were home! Great video as always, Brian. Thank you.
Can't say I'd blame you if I had the same happen. So far so good. These have all been cool as a cucumber.
4 years later, this video is still saving people money. I pulled my starter apart yesterday and found the same broken lever... fork... whatever. Headed to the dealer this morning to pickup the replacement. I found the technical service bulletin that addresses this known issue: static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/SB-10059644-2273.pdf
Thank you Brian you are awesome!!! Your verbal direction is A1.
Hey Brian, sold you the Honda nx650 back in the day. Wish I had your help right now. Tring to fix my old lady's Elantra right now.
Fixed my starter this exact same way thanks for the video you're the man !!!
Awesome to hear that your a pilot as well! I’m working on my license but it’s so expensive haha
Hey B, great vid! I enjoy all your stuff. Suggestion: how about an alternator surgery vid? Open up an alternator and repair/replace brushes, diodes, etc. Then maybe reclock the case to mount differently. Could be interesting.
You just literally saved me more than $250. I have pictures to prove it! Thanks!
Thanks Brian. Those Milwaukee ratchets are the best.
I've really enjoyed it so far. I miss the power of my MAC pneumatic (that costs about the same), but I SO don't miss dragging a dirty air hose all over the shop floor or hitting my head on a coupler hanging from the ceiling.
You are the champion for posting this. Thank you.
So many quotable line and thigs to say, so ill skip all that and say you do the best job on youtube of keeping my attention, and teaching! Thanks Brian. -Someones apprentice ,
I think you just made my day. Thanks!
This is a great instruction video. But if you have a chance, can you confirm or have another video when you take off the starter and change the fork on a 2009 -2010 Sonata 2.4L?
Can't understand the trolls that would give your video a negative review. It wasn't easy like other starters I've worked on. The $8 part was all that she needed given the starter gears and all were still good. I hate to throw away things that are still 👋
There is never a dull moment while watching your videos Brian. very helpfull!!
Very good... can't believe your patience. I remember doing some starter jobs and some were a bit@&......... I can't imagine doing some of the work with one hand, and talking at the same time. Thanks!
Felix Espana 2002 explorer with the 4.0 is a little tight to change a starter on
Brian thank you soooooo much for sharing and being very thorough, I normally don't comment however I have to give you your due acknowledgement. You also have just justified reason I need to purchase those cordless tools as well Happy Valentine too me. I enjoyed your video and look forward to watching others.
Thank You In Advance
Gyrone "SQUREL" Scott.
This, this Is why I drive old hondas and old chevys. I like things to be /easily/ repairable.
That is nice.
Thanks for the help!!! the lever was $13 from the dealership. You saved me about $220 bucks!
I have a question what did you mean specifically when you said that that particular boat had more played in it than a basketball court in the ghetto?
Great How Too, Thank-you from YUKON , Canada.. going too buy the side wrench, what do you suggest?
Mr !you know where to find parts for rebuild alternators and starters ? Online a good store ?
Thanks bro, you saved me $127 for a new starter and having someone else do it...
Thanks for sharing this video with us
Thanks for the video bud. had my starter go out on my 2013 accent (same motor and starter). Went and bought a new one and installed it but I'm having the same whining sound come from the starter. I guess some rebuilt starters can be bad
Greate educational video. Do you have the kit for the Tucson 2016 sport 1.6 T ?
8:15 They are trying to find their 10mm socket!
Best job of recording on TH-cam ever! Nicely done!
Awesome video🤙🏽🧡
Hey brian love the video ! How do iknow i need to replace the lever and not entire starter?thanks i bought my 1st car &i have barely had my car a month and 1st week my battery died and then 2 weeks aftr my starter needs fixing..iwas told it was good by previous owner.
