Starter motor OEM Honda or Duralast
For those who are experiencing this one click issue and are frustrated as all hell, replace the starter. One week later, haven’t had any issues starting the car at all. In fact, the startup sounds even more powerful than it did before.
Replaced mine with a Duralast and worked wonders I even made a youtube video on it.
Third one was Honda OEM and is still starting fine to this day!
The '05 Honda CR-V that was $1,200 because it hadn't run in 3-1/2yrs due to needing a $16 brush kit in the starter?
Stop putting aftermarket starters in. Get one from Honda. Not other way to stop the issue.
I got an Autozone Duralast one for my 09 LX and 2 yrs later after a lot of starts its still going strong.
Yes that is a bad starter. I actually had the starter kill a replacement battery since I thought it was that and had to get another one (thankfully under warranty through Walmart)
I needed a starter for my 2013 accord. Couldn't wait for OEM and bought a duralast that lasted 2 months.
My 09 Civic’s starter took a dump (was definitely due) around 2020. Don’t remember why but I got a Duralast starter at AutoZone knowing the pain in the ass risks. After replacing the starter I regretted it given how Honda made it somewhat difficult to replace but not impossible. A little over two years now the starter is now giving me issues with click no turn & me having to give it a tap or two.
Assuming the diagnosis is correct , My advise is to replace with an OEM STARTER. I have had many issues with autozone starters and alternators (duralast brand…I call it duraNOTlast from my experience), I have done many; and have redone many. You will never get the service time from a autozone starter that you have from the OEM starter.
