How do I remove a starter from an 05 Taurus 24v DOHC

Trick: Remove battery, battery tray, and top radiator hose from the "Y", after partially draining the radiator. Then, the starter motor can be removed and installed from above. You won't be able to remove and install the starter motor from below the car.

If the starter motor does not crank at all, first check the starter motor relay in the under hood fuse/relay box. Try substituting one of the other identical relays in the box. If that solves the problem, buy a new starter relay. It goes without saying that you want to ensure the battery is fully charged and the terminals and cable connections are cleaned with abrasive cloth.

Talaniman, the videos are for the Vulcan engine, not the DOHC.
