In a 2012 Dodge Ram, the starter is positioned on the driver's side of the engine at its lower part. This small motor is activated by the battery and is responsible for kick-starting your vehicle's engine. An issue with the starter relay and motor can leave you stranded, requiring a jumpstart or towing assistance just to move out of a parking spot. A telltale sign of a faulty starter is a clicking sound when you try to start the vehicle. However, a starter can also fail silently or make grinding noises before it stops working completely, so pay attention to any unusual sounds.
