## Starter Replacement L47

### Removal Procedure

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable at the battery.
2. Disconnect the positive battery cable at the battery.
3. Remove the intake manifold. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement in Engine Mechanical - 4.0L.
4. Remove the solenoid S terminal nut.
5. Remove the battery cable nut.
6. Remove the starter motor mounting bolts.
7. Remove the starter motor.

### Installation Procedure

Notice: Before installing the starter motor to the engine, tighten the inner nuts on the solenoid terminals to be sure that they are secure in the cap. Tighten the inner nuts on the battery terminal and the starter motor terminal to 8 N·m (70 lb in). If the nuts are not properly tightened, the starter may fail later due to terminal or cap damage.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

1. Connect the solenoid switch lead.

Tighten
Tighten the nut to 3 N·m (26 lb in).

2. Install the battery cable nut.

5. Install the intake manifold. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement in Engine Mechanical - 4.0L.
6. Connect the positive battery cable.

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 15 N·m (11 lb ft).

7. Connect the negative battery cable.

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 15 N·m (11 lb ft).

### Removal Procedure

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
3. Remove the splash shield.
4. Remove the flywheel inspection cover bolts.
5. Remove the cover.
6. Disconnect the starter motor wiring.
7. Remove the starter motor mounting bolts.
8. Remove the starter motor.

### Installation Procedure

Notice: Before installing the starter motor to the engine, secure the electrical terminals by tightening the nuts next to the cap on the solenoid battery terminal and on the SD-255 S terminal. If these terminals are not tight in the solenoid cap, the cap may be damaged during installation of the electrical connections and cause the starter to fail later.

1. Install the starter motor.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the starter motor mounting bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 43 N·m (32 lb ft).

3. Install the flywheel inspection cover.
4. Install the cover bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 7 N·m (22 lb in).

5. Connect the starter motor BAT terminal wire.

Tighten
Tighten the BAT terminal nut to 16 N·m (12 lb ft).

6. Connect the starter motor S terminal wire.

Tighten
Tighten the S terminal nut to 3 N·m (22 lb in).

7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Connect the negative battery cable.

Tighten
Tighten the cable bolt to 15 N·m (11 lb ft).
