Installing a starter on a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe may seem daunting, especially when there’s a lack of guidance available online. In this video, we’ll walk you through the process so that you can tackle this task with confidence.
The first step is to remove the necessary components to access the starter. Start by taking off the screws and clips that secure the surrounding parts. Additionally, always remember to disconnect the negative ground cable for safety.
Once you’ve cleared the area around the starter, you’ll notice a silver piece with four bolts. Remove these bolts to access the two bolts directly underneath that hold the starter in place.
When removing the two bolts that secure the starter, it might be helpful to have someone underneath the car to assist you. As you undo the bolts, be prepared to handle the starter as it becomes loose.
It’s also important to adjust the position of the surrounding components, such as the radiator hose, to facilitate the removal of the starter. Once the starter is free, disconnect the two connectors attached to it.
Finally, replace the old starter with the new one and reassemble the components in the reverse order. While this video didn’t demonstrate the actual replacement, following these steps will guide you through the process.
Good luck with your starter installation! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you.
