Chris , I so enjoy your videos because, they are clear and too the point, no added talk, no cursing, no music. Thank you so much for your help.
I'm 70 and have been fixing my grandson's car with your help.
Thanks and that is awesome John!
You could add some techno or punk rock and cursing. :)
Best comment! :)
oh my god my heart
John, you sound like a great guy. Your grandson is lucky to have a grandfather like you. God bless
One tip: DO NOT turn in your old starter (or any other part) for the core charge when you pick up the new part. Wait until a week or more after you've successfully installed and used the replacement. Occasionally the store parts will ALL be junk (or wrong) and they won't have another part option and you will never get your old part back from them. Keeping your old core allows you to return the junk parts and go to a completely different supplier. I've learned that one the hard way a few times.
Just wasted 130 for an alternator for this same reason, car was still stalling after replacing and I had already turned in my core.
I usually got good results with a junkyard OEM unit. Even if it didn't work I can swap parts off my old one and make a good one out of the pair.
@@milescarter7803 how much does it cost at the junkyard?
something like this is illegal here in germany haha
Very good point
Chris that knocking trick saved me the cost of a tow truck and my wife's car being left for the night in an underground parking lot. Thank you. Been a loyal follower for a very long time.
Glad that trick was able to get it running! Thanks for the ongoing support!
The best/bright side of the internet : people giving hints and advices to others.. nice..
You're more than welcome to stick around :p
I swear dude .... you are the absolute BEST at explaining these things.
very true
The best!
A 24 hour autozone wow, wish we had those around here
It’s amazing
@@chrisfix I can bet, I can't tell you how many late nights I've had where I've needed a tool or part
In el paso we have 24 hour autozone
@@gabrielazavala7597 they have it anywhere there is high spanish population because they work 3-11pm jobs or overnight
@@johnames6430 Also, English only speaking people work afternoons.too!! Not just smoking and drinking everyday after 3pm!!
Starter went out on my truck right after my wife won an auction on some furniture. One catch, we had to pick it up ourselves before 6p.
I'd never replaced a starter before in my life.
Ran to the store, bought the part, watched a KRplus video like this one (Unfortunately not this one)... and got the starter on around 5:15p. Got there just in time and wife thought I was a hero.
Thanks for putting up helpful vids like this
I'm glad you were still able to get it done!
okay, it's not only action. It's diagnose, do and finally check. This is what a decent tutorial video look like. Well done!
Its a quick fix, he started in Spring and finished it in Winter :D
LOL
spring is after winter you know
Spring -> Summer -> Fall -> Winter:
All you dum it was fall / winter
How can you confuse spring with fall.
The sunlight has a different color my man.
The real reason to bring the old starter to Autozone is to make sure they actually give you the right one.
+williwonti haha that too! Good point!

ChrisFix ...hitting things with a hammer always works ...thats oldschool haha
sounds about right
swaneye34 I don't think AutoZone rebuilds starters. unless just replacing a solenoid. it's not something you can just go to school for.
This is what a professional level video looks like. Top notch.
Thanks, mate! You saved me having to take the car in to be looked at: previous battery failed and apparently corroded the negative terminal. It wasn't starting, so I checked the fuses and the battery, but no dice. I watched this video in the hopes it would give me an idea of what was wrong, and I ended up only having to remove the corrosion from the terminal clamps before it started up. Awesome video, as usual.
Awesome
Chris you are helping a lot people save tons of money to be used somewhere else. thank you for your contribution to society.
That’s the goal! Glad the videos are helpful!
the big auto companies probably hate that; planned obsolescence is part of their respective business models... but not the parts suppliers!
Yes like buying expensive video games. Lol
This channel makes me wanna sabotage my car just to fix it.
LOL!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hahah me too
But wait i dont have a car
Sheesh, glutton for punishment!
How dare you!!!!!!!!!! Lol
Dude. your thoroughness is insane! Thank you very much for making these videos. I am thinking my Nissan Murano Starter might be bad and you gave me confidence to look into doing it more myself. What I love about your videos is I also have a little B3000 so I know right where to go if it ever has issues in the future.
Hey Chris fix after watching many of your videos I think I’m ready to become a mechanic because ived fixed many cars with no training and people are quite impressed of my work they ask me a lot of questions and say I’m a good mechanic I say no I’m not a mechanic I just watch Chris fix videos on KRplus. And they are shocked.....truly mind blowing what KRplus brings. Thanks you again Chris you are really helpful
Most people when a car develops an issue: "well dammit now I gotta fix this, or get it fixed.."
Chris: "IT'S VIDEO TIME BAY-BEE!"
This is one of the few channels of which I watch all their videos from the start to the end.
Mr. Chris Fix. You have the best car repair videos on the internet. All of the videos are direct to the point, contain no fluff to add time to the video, and every word is directed to the solution to the problem. I have fixed my car with 6 of your videos saving me over $6,000 in labor costs. Thanks you 1,000 times. Bless you!
That’s awesome and exactly why I make these videos! Glad to hear that!
I just bought a car for $150 no crank no start. Here I come to your channel like I have been for the past 5 years. Thanks for the videos big fan here. Get things done when I look at your videos.
Can you do a super clean interior video? I'd really love one especially after buying my used car.
That is a good idea! I need to find a car with a dirty interior to clean first!
Blue Idho how hard is it to clean an interior 😂😂😂
Zac Sanders It's not that it's hard. I don't know what do about my cracked leather seats, stained floors, cigarette burns on the side of the passenger chair, or the scratches above the glove box. I want things looking decent.
As someone said before, auction cars generally have a good chance at being dirty enough for a video, but if you're really wanting some dirt and more ask a farmer for their truck/vehicle. If you know one and can use their truck chances are it will be dirty enough. Though there are some farmers who keep them clean. Will it matter to them if you clean it? No since it'll just get dirty again, but it would work for the video. As a detailer I can assure you that a farm vehicle or an auction vehicle are fairly good candidates for the video.
Blue Idho wat car was it?
I don't own a car, but after watching your videos I can't wait to get one so I can do all of this myself, lol.
Lmao same, im more excited about repairing it usimg these videos than actually owning one tbh
MegaTheftV its cool but paying for it definitely sucks
Be prepared to live a broke life with a great vehicle
Same bruh I have a pickup but I don't have my license yet and I can't wait to start working on it
when u actually have to fix ur car, u'll know it. Pain in the ass! Especially, rust, corrosion, extra torque at nuts and bolts, complexity of computers, diagnosis the problems, tools, safety first, double gaskets made by ur own mistake, ect.
That's y people usually end up buying reliable cars rather than gimmicks and muscles.
I've never seen any1 cant wait to FIX their cars lol. Vehicles arent Lego which u cant wait to put them together and then break them apart and build new ones.
Chris I just wanna say I really love you, your channel and everything you've done for me. Watching your channel has not only given me hope on working on cars but it has made me such a happier person. I love working on cars and automobiles thanks to you. Something that seemed so hard at first when I knew nothing about cars now became my greatest joy. You really pushed me to become a mechanic just watching how "easy" it is. I'm only 19 years old but I will never forget the impact you've had on my life. I'd love to meet you one day and give you the greatest hug ever! I love you Chris.
Thanks Chris Fix! My friends car wouldn’t start and we were about to tow it to a mechanic and I saw your video before I called. It was the FOB!!!
I never woulda guessed about the key immobilizer! You THE MAN!
Hyundai wanted 800 to replace my moms starter. We tied a rope to the car, pulled it right off their property, and replaced the starter on the side of the road in front of their sign for dirt cheap.
BDE
how'd you get the key?
weird flex but ok lol
@@HearMeLearn ?
Lmao
I'm addicted to your videos! Makes me want to fix a car now lol
Awesome!!!
ChrisFix makes me fix my dads smart car and my dads chevy avalanche idk why but I love cars
Peter Fabiano Buy a Ford, you'll have plenty of opportunities to fix it. :P
Peter Fabiano My BMW cranking but mot starting can you come see me
Peter Fabiano same!
I've watched at least six videos on how to change out a starter- this is the first and only one that actually explained EVERYTHING- I didn't even know where the starter was- or how to put the jack under the rig- excellent video! thank you!
Your video are extremely informative with simple language and clarity and without missing the critical topics. This video helped me greatly as I had almost taken out the alternator. The symptoms mentioned at 2:24 helped not to do so which I didn't find on any other. It was indeed the battery. Thanks and lot and keep up the good work.
Chris Fix, since you can fix and replace pretty much any/every thing on a car, why not just do a video called, "How to Build a Car".
Because you can't do that with common hand tools, duh
@@LoganDark4357 He was joking, duh
Blob BLOB woooosh
To build a car you do not need to be handy like Chris, maschines do the job from A to Z and bts, if any to tighten, being done at the easiest moment in production, and you do not get dirty.
You just can't joke on KRplus DIY videos without morons putting their comments in
even though it's completely irrelevant for me, i love watching these videos so much!
Cant wait to get my first car, i'll be folllowing all the car buying checks and car cleaning videos you have!
It isnt irrelevant because you can always learn something for when you get a car!
Yeah. I can see the trick about hitting the starter saving some people from a lot of trouble.
Andrew Smart dont buy a protege those r hard to work on when it comes to changing the starter and changing brake lines and such its a pain in the ass i own a 2000 protege lx 5 speed with all power options and needed to change the starter took me almost 2 hours to get it out and the belts gotts be done i peddy myself when i go to change them
dont get me wrong tho i love my old mazda runs like a charm and loads of power
Andrew Smart im 11 years old and i cart wate to get my car!!😀
Thank you so much for going through all the diagnostics--I was ready to replace the starter and ended up just cleaning the battery terminals and changing the relay. All done in $25!! Sincerely-thanks for doing these videos. You’ve saved me a ton of money and really built my auto repair & maintenance confidence.
The speed that you explain step by step is perfect. I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks!
"My check engine light isn't coming on, now I gotta throw the whole car away!"
ChrisFix: "Hey guys! ChrisFix here and today we're replacing a bad bulb"
New computer is actually really cheap on these older vehicles, my 2001 i can get a refurbished computer for $100
I wonder how many millions of dollars you've helped people save with these videos. Great job with these and keep them coming!
I'm sure everyone has saved a ton of money! And thanks!
Think how much you could save by just putting new $2 carbon brushes back in your old starter.
ChrisFix Hey Chris, I turn the key and my starter does absolutely nothing. I bought a brand new battery, had it tested and put in brand new battery cables. the starter still does nothing. Where exactly do I connect my voltmeter leads on the starter motor to know the power from my ignition switch has energized the starter solenoid and connected the battery power to the starter motor? What should I read if the starter is good? What should I read if the starter is bad?
ChrisFix Hey Chris, my car starter solenoid has an “R” terminal how does that work?
Mr Obvious you would connect the positive to the lead on the sealinoid that connects to the battery and connect the negative to where you bolt the starter in or anywhere on the base of it. You need to check you relay too cuz it sounds like you aren’t getting power to it.
Closing in on 7M subscribers...good for you.
You create great D.I.Y. how-to content that is like my drivers license...clean, clear, and valid.
Keep it up.
Excellent explanation and video! One of the best fix it videos I have ever seen. I learned much more then I expected or needed to diagnose my forklift starter. Not the same vehicle or components but the principal are basically the same. Thank you very much.
You made that removal and install look so easy when it's really not. I love your videos
Instead of doing all that diagnostics, I would have better luck trying to get the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive working while being chased by Imperials.
Another awesome video from ChrisFix. You are by far the #1 best teacher of vehicle repair on KRplus.
Thanks a lot!
i am surprised crisfix
But I can't buy starter
Outstanding video. I especially appreciated the check points before actually removing the starter as well as the installation detail. Thank you Chris!
🔧🔩🏆 This is how you make a professional-looking DIY car repair video. The camera work was clear and close, the narration and steps-needed process were clear and direct, and there was no annoying rap or metal "music" blasting in the background. A sure sign of an amateur KRplus DIY project poster is a shaky camera and crap "music" overwhelming the narration. Once again, well done, Chris! Thanks for sharing to help the home DIYer like me save money.
An alternative to checking the battery, relays, neutral switch, ignition barrel, fuses or using a hammer is to put the voltmeter directly onto the starter connections. If you get 12V there when you crank it but the starter won't turn, the starter is bad.
That is a great idea!
hope Chris sees
JoeyRodz74 an make sure u get power at the aux port to or the starter switch can be bad if u dont while the key is turning over
Yeah bro, ruling out the weakest link sounds more reasonable.
That's great advice if you have someone to help you crank it while your under there testing it...
Then disconnect the positive wire from the starter and use a wire (or jumper cable) to momentarily hot wire the starter.
Bruh when my car breaks down I get mad but when chrisfix’s car breaks down he’s like wow new video Material
The tip about the the tape around the swivel adapter is spot on
A professional committed KRplusr who covers everything needed. Thanks Chris
Great info as usual Chris! When my starter went bad, my car was starting intermittently. When it ultimately failed I was at an auto parts store with a mechanic shop next door. I wanted to fix it myself but it made sense just to pay the mechanic shop to put in the new starter for me. I had jobs to go do so in hindsight I was blessed to be in this situation.
Hey coming from India. I helped change my Friend's 2004 Ford Mondeo Ghia mk3's bad starter using your vid and his car starts right up. Pretty hard to find tools and silicone but we got it done. Awesome vid.
I always go back to Chris, I have a 1996 Ford Ranger. Chris goes into detail, provides great video and the tools I need to do the job. Another fantastic video!
I love how everything in your cars is clean, i hope to be able to start taking some time to clean my car’s different sections.
this is my first time ever commenting here. in the last few years, I have enjoyed your videos. I have noticed how your videos are getting better. little by little you help me not to be afraid of my car. videos are clear, easy to understand, what tools I need and easy to see what you're doing. man, thanks again.
Thanks for the clear instructions on diagnosis, removal and replacement of the starter. You always do a well lit, stable and clear video of the repair leaving no questions as to how to do it. Thanks.
Yes, I knew all of this, but the delivery and understandability of the information in this video is wonderful, as are all of the other videos I have watched from your channel. maximum props. thank you!
I am so glad you made this video. Was able to diagnose and put in a new starter. Saved myself a ton of money. As a woman you made this very simple to follow. Thanks
I love how you give us info on how to find the parts. I watched a few other videos and they just go straight to the starter with no context. A regular joe at home will never know where to begin looking. Telling us to find where the oil pan/engine meets up with the transmission is where the starter will crank the fly wheel makes it easy to find the starter. Thanks a million.
Chris, this video has been a great help! My brother and I have been watching your videos since the beginning, always admiring how much you know and teach us all on cars. Then today my brothers starter quit working in his 2001 Oldsmobile Alero. With your diagnosis check list, and how to step by step, we did the whole thing by our selves, saving us a ton of money instead of taking it to a garage to be fixed. Your how to videos are the best!
That is awesome! Im glad the video was helpful and nice work guys!!!
Thanks so much! My car wouldn't start, then I found your video. Your checklist of what to rule out saved me. Even though it totally looked like I was fully in park, I gave the gearshift a bit of a jiggle, and tried again. It started! You saved my night, you saved me a weekend of waiting for my mechanic to open while stressing over what it might cost, and you saved me the embarrassment of getting roadside assistance to tow me to my mechanic just to see him start it easily. So thanks for ALL of that!
Man!! Im only 2 minutes in and I can TRULY appreciate that you sound very knowledgable, youre not stuttering every sentence and you are getting right to the point!!! Thank you!!! Other people are starting off petting their dog, can barely formulate a sentence, have extremely poor lighting and one guy had his cat sitting under the hood while he worked, talking to cat in baby talk... Sheesh!!!! LOL GREAT JOB. And like I said im only 2 minutes into your video. Cheers!
Chris thank you for the video, very helpful. Had to pick up my oldest niece after her trip and the car would not start. This has happened before and it was embarrassing. Thank god my wife was with me. Had my wife try to start the car while I taped on the starter. After a couple of try’s the car started. Thank you again brother
Awesome! Be sure to replace the starter ASAP
Wow Autozone open 24hrs!
Gardena one is also
And people that seem to know how to work there lol. My experience with any auto store sucks and I wish I knew where all these awesome ones that everyone seems to have a great experience at.
The 24 hour stores have the employees with the most experience. Go at night because the night crew tend to be mechanics using it as a side job.
24/7? I wish it was like that in my area
Yep in Florida they pay for your schooling too few of my buddy are now ASE CERTIFIED because of advance & AutoZone
I love Chris Fix videos. They're so thorough. I've saved so much money doing my own repairs and upgrades thanks to Chris! 😊
Thank you so much, Chris! I absolutely LOVE your videos and have been wantching from multiple accounts for YEARS!

Love this guy's content always to the point and makes it look easy because when you ramble on about something that isn't important you lose the viewer. While comedic relief can come in handy ChrisFix always gives the best informative videos. If this guy taught mechanic class I would listen.

Extremely well put together vid! A well polished edit that is very informative and easy to follow. No annoying editing tricks, background noise, time wasting visuals, or word whisker commentary.
I have a Japanese imported van that may need its starter motor and solenoid replaced. There are currently no videos on the van I own that will serve as an exact how to... YET, this vid is what I plan on using to get the work done on my own. Swapping out a starter is rather straight forward. This video covers a lot of useful information on this subject that can assist any viewer with the same goal, but working on a different vehicle.
Moreover, the commentary was superb! Usually you get the guy over a vid like this that struggle to explain what they are doing. They will usually say “ummm”, “and like”, and use “kind of” between every other word or in every sentence. Not to mention bad audio that will leave a viewer wondering what they said. NONE of that here!
Thank you ChrisFix!
I had sooooooo much trouble getting my starter off as one bolt was in extremely tight spot. I was searching for replacement tutorials for my model and none of those tutorials took a moment to dedicate moment to affordable tools. Then I remembered ChrisFix and I was awestruck that he had a special mention for tools and tricks getting the bolts off. Thanks! You are the best!

Thanks! I do my best to plan, film, and edit my videos so they cover as much as possible in as little time as possible.
This video helped me confirm it was in fact my starter. Thanks for all the work you do man! It's helped a LOT of people out.
Just finished replacing it, on my mustang. And the car happily started right up!!!
Thanks for the video. Good content, filming and personality. Remember that a lot of your viewers are super stressed out by the time they find you. Even if you don't fix their issue, your pleasant manner and confident tone helps them destress. Again, thanks for the video.

i actually bypassed my starter (jumper cable touching it).
Good teaching video,clear communication and thorough. the lighting on the project was good, so seeing the project was easy. I like how he explained the most common problems that could happen and then mentioned the rare ones to check also.
Thanks!
Thank you! This is a very detained and informative video that is helping me get my car started again. I cant even afford the tow to a shop, and I own no tools of my own. However now I know what to do, can get help from fiends and know what tools I can try to borrow. Youre a life saver!
I had my starter go out early January of 2018... replaced it myself in an hour in my driveway... next day, 4 inches of snow.
Haha the end of the video probably hits home then!
Wish I would have remembered that he made this video since I just had to replace my starter on my 2000 Ford Ranger. For anyone that does not know they are basically the same truck just named differently.
I own a 1999 Mazda B2500 2.5L Extended Cab truck. I closely follow ChrisFix whenever a problem/issue develops on my Mazda truck to see if he has a video that addresses my Mazda problem. I love this guy! So positive!
I just replaced the starter in my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. It took me an hour to figure out how to get a wrench on one of the bolts! I see here on KRplus that most people are taking most of the front end of the van off to get it, but I removed the transmission control module and managed to get it with a socket and an extension.
Thanks for all the great content, it is very much appreciated!
I really like your videos. You always give good step by step instructions. And thanks for not cursing in the videos just like John said below. Lol.
Thanks a lot Zach!
I would just like to thank @ChrisFix for this video because without it I would still be stuck in a parking lot. I literally made the call and said "Bring the hammer and a creeper. I got this" and here I am now. Now I just need to fix it.

Re: immobilizer @ 2:44
Omgggg, you just saved me hundreds. I had made a backup for my car key and randomly used it to sit in my car on a phone call. Car wouldn't start! Went inside and got the real key after watching your video and viola!!!! Ugh. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
Glad it was something simple!
I just recently replaced my own starter after watching this video multiple times. While being a noob, beginning to work on my car and understanding what it needs and how to maintain it, I've come to realize that these things are simple in nature but never easy for me. I spent around 45 minutes trying to loosen 1 bolt holding in my starter and I was cursing and almost in tears, ready to throw up. I walked to an Autozone for guidance.
Luckily a nice man in line offered to come take a look at it. Within a couple of minutes he got the bolt out. I was almost there. I put in the work and research but it's always one bolt or clippy thing holding something in and making me regret my decisions.
Anywho, it's a learning experience and in the end, I saved money. Went with a reman Denso starter. Hope it lasts a while.. I somewhat did it lol.
Hey ChrisFix video ideas: How to replace a head gasket, how to replace a valve cover gasket and how to check a valve cover gasket, how to install an exhaust, how to change a wheel speed sensor, how to change battery terminals, and how to change manual transmission fluid(please do i have a 6-speed wrangler). Just some ideas!
That would be awesome!
ChrisFix hey I have a problem everytime I turn the key you will hear a clicking noise and it won't turn on but when I step on the gas pedal pumping it a couple times it will finally turn on what could it be
you cant change battery terminals
watermelons he probably meant the cables that attach to the terminals
Install exhaust: Just uploaded
warning for people doing this on ford trucks. this may apply to some to other vehicles as well. Some starters need a shim stack to be aligned properly, and with ford, the starters are slot drilled for at least one of the bolts on some of the trucks. while I do know how to do the alignment for these, i do not have the correct tools to properly do this and without the alignment tool, I have yet to get the starter to mesh perfectly without grinding. just be aware that this may be the case for some people, and if your starter grinds after installing, you may be forced to have a mechanic do the starter alignment for you. chris, if you have any suggestions on how to deal with this issue avoiding using special tools please let me know. your videos are always entertaining to watch.

Detailed. To the point fix! All the BS is cut out! Thanks! I was quoted $580.00 for my Chevy Equinox starter! Plus towing costs. So I found this video. Saved me hundreds of dollars! Thanks Chrisfix!
I'm glad the video saved you money! Thanks a lot!
DUDE!!!! Its 2021!! Who's utilizing this man's very skilled and user friendly approach, spot on instructions, perfect amount of detail and sped through like a bat out of hell!! Im speechless thank you!!!!
Man. You explain in good detail about fixing starter problems thank you.
Thanks for the video! Just finished replacing my starter today actually which was causing issues. I do not trust taking my car anywhere. Simply because I see how a random person will treat a car and I do not want scratches, or a bolt missing, or trim screws missing. Which I've noticed since I watched the first video and became a do-it-yourselfer. Fixed some hose tears, added screws missing on trim, bought and used a torque wrench for the first time. Going to do more, cheers mate
Awesome! Im glad the video was helpful!
