In the 2005 Subaru Legacy, the starter is situated below the intake manifold near the top of the engine. The starter is a small motor that initiates the engine by cranking it. If the starter malfunctions, the vehicle won't start and might produce a clicking noise when turning the key. To replace the starter, the average cost is between $300 and $500, with parts accounting for around $300 and labor costing about $200. If you opt to remove and install the starter yourself, it should take approximately an hour and a half, and you will need a wrench for the task.
The starter for a 2005 Subaru Legacy can be found at the back of the engine, towards the bottom.
