In the 2005 Ford Taurus, the starter is located underneath the intake manifold near the top of the engine. The starter is a small motor intended to initiate the main engine of the car, which kickstarts the engine and sustains combustion. If the starter malfunctions, the car will not start, and you may hear a clicking sound when turning the key. Replacing the starter typically costs between $300 and $500, with parts accounting for around $300 and labor around $200. If you decide to remove the starter yourself, it should take approximately an hour and a half, and you will need a wrench to complete the task.
