Ford Starters

Your starter, also known as a starter motor, self-starter, or cranking motor, may only do one thing -- but it does it quite well. It gets the engine moving by cranking -- or rotating – it until it can run under its own power.

How Starters Work

The starter uses a relay and a dedicated starter motor to start the engine. Since most modern vehicles feature an electric starter, all you have to do is either turn your key in the ignition cylinder or press the "Start" button. If your key fob features a remote starter, it's that much easier. Press the right button sequence and your engine will roar to life. That's quite useful when you want to start cooling or warming the passenger space in your Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury vehicle before you open the doors.
