Hi, I’m having trouble with my vehicle’s starter. I have the vehicle listed above SE. The starter went out last week, I put a new one in, but it didn’t work. I took it back to the store and found out that it was defective. I got another new one, installed it, but it’s doing the same thing. The battery, fuses, and relay are all good. I need to find out if there is something on my vehicle that could cause the starter motor to fail.

Hello,

Does your vehicle have smart key push button start?

Thanks,

No, the key has a chip, but not a smart key or push start.

Hello again,
One more question please, is your vehicle equipped with a burglar alarm?

Thanks,
