Your starter is starting to weaken, so it's time to replace it. Don't let it hang out when you notice it, since when the starter breaks down it will be too late to start your Jeep Commander. Here is a special file to change your starter and know how it works.change-starter-Jeep-Commander

What is the starter motor of my Jeep Commander for?

The starter happens to be an electric motor within the engine of your Jeep Commander. The latter consumes electricity from the battery in order to turn, and gives the impulse to the motor so that it starts. To know that it is a starter malfunction and nothing else, we advise you to consult our text on starting problems. Now that we've spotted the dysfunction, it's time to get to the heart of the matter.

How do I change the starter on my Jeep Commander?

Before starting operations, check that you have the necessary equipment. For this operation you will necessarily need a complete toolbox, a jack, your wire brush but also two candles.

Remove the old starter

For this action, the most useful turns out to be to visualize the locations, for the wires in particular. You can tag them if that helps.

  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal from your Jeep Commander.
  • If it happens that accessing the starter from above is really difficult, you can use the jack stands to access it from below.
  • Disconnect all power supplies going to the starter
  • Install the jack below the engine if it wobbles a little.
  • Remove all fixings and remember the locations
  • Disassemble the starter
  • Set aside the mounting bracket as it will not necessarily be supplied with the brand new starter
  • Polish the pods that could be oxidized using a brush

Attach new starter

Now that we have memorized the technique, it will be more or less sufficient to perform the opposite manipulation.

  • Examine the old starter of your Jeep Commander with the new one to see if there are any differences in the mounting system, and this is not unusual.
  • Return the starter support to its position
  • Install the brand new starter
  • Make sure it sits perfectly in its base and screw
  • Reattach the wires to the starter
  • Reconnect the negative terminal of this battery.

That's it. Now, reassembling a starter on your Jeep Commander is not magic for you. Have a good trip, and you can write a comment if this little tutorial has made your task easier!
