The starter in a 2006 Mazda Tribute can be found at the bottom of the engine on the passenger side within the engine compartment, close to where the transmission housing connects with the motor. The starter motor functions as an electric motor that initiates the engine's rotation during the vehicle's startup process. If you notice clicking or grinding sounds when trying to start your car, it may indicate a problem with the starter. On the other hand, if there is no sound at all, it could signify an electrical issue with the battery. Typically, if the starter motor malfunctions, you will likely need to replace it in order to get your car running again.
