Sure, here's an updated version: "How do I change the starter on a 2007 Ford Fusion?

★ Top Answer

The first step is to purchase a new starter for your 2007 Ford Fusion. You can find a compatible starter at a local auto parts store for about $200, for example, the Ultima Select Starter part #N612943A from O'Reilly. If you have someone else do the replacement, you may incur labor costs ranging from $100 to $125 in addition to the part cost. To install the new starter, you will need to remove the air cleaner, hoses, and other components blocking access to the engine. You will also need to take out the battery. Once these parts are out of the way, you can use a deep well 13 mm socket to remove the bolts and disconnect the wires. After that, you should be able to easily remove the old starter and install the new one.
