Your Kia Soul's starter is situated on the driver's side of the engine below the left row of cylinders. It plays a crucial role in initiating the rotation of the motor, ensuring your car starts up smoothly. This compact motor, powered by the battery, is essential for getting your engine up and running. A faulty starter relay and motor can leave you stranded, unable to even reverse out of a parking spot without needing a jumpstart or tow. Be attentive to signs of trouble, such as a clicking sound when turning the key or pushing the start button. Remember, a failing starter may also manifest through silent failure or unusual noises like whirring and grinding, so keep your ears open!
