About the Chevrolet Sonic Starter (STARTER-MOTOR)
The starter motor is an electric motor that cranks your engine to begin the combustion process. When you turn the key or press the start button, the starter engages the flywheel and spins the engine until it fires and runs on its own. A failed starter leaves you unable to start your vehicle. The Starter (also known as STARTER-MOTOR) is a critical component for your Chevrolet Sonic.

- Clicking sound when turning key

Replacement Info
Starter replacement is a straightforward job on most vehicles, though accessibility varies significantly. The starter is typically mounted where the engine meets the transmission, bolted to the bellhousing. Replacement involves: disconnecting the battery, locating the starter (may require removing other components or accessing from below), disconnecting electrical connections, removing mounting bolts, and reversing with the new unit. Some starters are easily accessible in 30 minutes; others require significant disassembly.
