Replacing our car's starter may not be an easy automotive task but we can't deny the fact that it is important to know how to replace a starter on our own.
The materials or tools needed to replace a starter include a marker, a flood light, a car jack, crescent wrenches, and a ratchet set.
Jump Starter
The first step on how to replace a starter is the preparation. We need an access from below of the car, which means that the car has to be pulled onto jack stands or the car itself may be jacked up. We must check the chalk blocks if they are in place and the brake if it is all set before jacking up the car. An important tip when working under a car or any other type of vehicle is to be extremely careful not to touch any other electrical wires or contacts that are not supposed to be touched or fixed.
The second step on how to replace a starter is to find the starter that will be replaced. We need to find it because there are different locations of starters and it depends on the model of the automotive. We may start finding it on the side of the driver. Those who have not seen a starter before, more often than not, it looks like a tube measuring approximately six inches in diameter and eight inches in length. It features air-type holes on one end which go all the way surrounding the cylinder. It also features a mounting connection as well as a couple of electrical connections. With older automotives, the starter may be found on the engine top or inside the compartment of the engine.
Third step is the removal of the connections. As mentioned earlier, there are three connections, namely, the mounting connection and the two electrical connections. These must be removed but must be marked to avoid confusion. When removing the mounting connection, the tools that must be used are the Crescent wrench and ratchet. It must be noted that there are times when the connections are difficult to remove. The difficulty actually depends on the age of the automotive. It must also be noted that not a lot of force must be used when removing the connections because we might further damage the car and we might not have anything to drive in the end.
The fourth step on how to replace a starter is the installation. The reason why we need to mark the connections in the third step is because the starter will be installed using the reverse process on how we removed the connections.
The fifth step on how to replace a starter is the attachment of the negative cable of the battery onto the battery. The connection must then be tightened afterwards. Now, we may check whether all connections are properly done by starting the engine.
We must remember that the new starter motor has a core charge, which means that the old starter may be brought to the store to get a refund.

Convenience takes on a whole new meaning with the efficient, reliable and user-friendly Energizer 84020 All-In-One 12V 18Ah Battery Jumpstarter with Air Compressor and Power Inverter. Powered by an internal 12-volt, 18Ah sealed lead-acid battery capable of delivering 350 CA, it is designed to quickly and safely deliver automotive power on three fronts: battery jump-starting power, air compression for tire inflation and untethered AC and DC current suitable for most any appliance or gadget. Covering virtually any temporary power requirement, the Energizer All-In-One provides all the power needed for any getaway.
Jumpstarting Your Car
In the event of a dead or severely drained battery the Energizer All-In-One Jumpstarter allows you to get back on the road in minutes by simply following three color-coated steps numbered on the outside of the unit. It's as easy as 1: assuring that the unit has a sufficient charge by pressing the CHECK button; 2: attaching the color-coded positively and negatively charged 24" power output jumper cables, via their heavy-duty, spark-resitant battery clamps, to the appropriate positively charged post on your car's dead battery and a ground position on your engine block; 3: turning the power switch located in the clearly marked JUMP section of the controls from OFF to JUMP, and starting the car with the dead battery. When your vehicle starts and has run at an idle for a few minutes remove the All-In-One Jumpstarter cables in the reverse order they were connected, turn off the unit and you are ready to roll.Air Compressor
The only physical connection any car has with the road is through its tires. Because of this correct tire pressure can affect everything from improved gas mileage, to correct handling on the road and the avoidance of unnecessary exposure of tires to the possibility of puncture or blowouts due to underinflation. The air compressor built into the Energizer All-In-One Jumpstarter easily addresses these issues by funneling its portable power into the ability to fill tires whenever the need or want arises. When sufficiently charged, the unit is capable of inflating most any automobile tire within 10 minutes, and is easy and safe to use with its ON/OFF switch and built-in pressure gauge located on the front of the unit. The compressor also is thermally protected from overheating, and has a strong, fabric-covered output hose with a screw-on valve stem coupler.
DC/AC Power and Light When and Where You Need It
Along with its automotive exclusive functionality, the Energizer All-In-One Jumpstarter provides all the power and access to power that you will ever need. The unit comes standard with two 12-volt DC cigarette sockets for powering 12V accessories. Both are protected by a 30-amp manual-reset circuit breaker, located at the back ensuring that your devices are never exposed to more power than they can safely handle. In addition, users also have convenient access to three-pronged AC power by way of the built-in 200 watt, DC/AC power inverter. This component also contains a built-in cooling fan to prevent any overheating during this power conversion and an ON/OFF AC power switch to minimize the possibility of power drain when cords are left plugged in. The All-In-One Jumpstarter also contains a flex-neck work light stored in the unit's handle that allows the user to shine a little light virtually any place.
Easy to Maintain Power Levels
Because even the best jumpstarter unit is of little use unless it contains sufficient power, the Energizer Jumpstart All-In-One is designed to be easy to charge and effortless to maintain. Unlike other manufacturer's units that can be damaged by overcharging, the Energizer Jumpstart All-In-One contains a 12V, 1 amp internal two-stage charger that allows your battery's power to fluctuate within a very small range while attached to AC current for charging. At the highest level of this range through the middle, charging ceases, while when the lowest is reached charging begins again, continuing until the highest level is reached. This creates a charging cycle, yet cuts the battery off from the damaging effects of excess power. This means that the unit can safely be connected to a wall outlet indefinitely, ensuring that the unit will be ready to pop into your trunk at full power whenever you want it.
