In the 2006 Chevy Malibu, you can find the starter located on the right front side just under the oil filter housing. This starter is a small motor that is powered by the battery and is responsible for starting your car's engine. If the starter relay and motor are not functioning properly, you could find yourself unable to even back out of a parking space without needing a jumpstart or tow. One common indication of a faulty starter is a clicking noise when you try to start the car, but sometimes a starter can fail without making any noise at all or may make a whirring or grinding sound as a warning sign. Be sure to pay attention to any unusual sounds coming from your starter.
The starter for a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu can be found at the rear of the engine block.
