I got a refund and bought an OEM. Still working great 25k miles later.
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.
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?
Could be worse, could be that Toyota 5.7L V8 that puts the starter in the middle of the "V". Replacement means removing the inlet manifold. The good part is, it's a Toyota--you'll likely only need to do it once in half a million miles and maybe not even that.
My sister-in-law who was staying with us for a short period of time had problems with her Toyota pickup truck wouldn't start, I went out with a hammer laying down and hit the starter and it fired right up. She thought I was a magician.
Stop putting aftermarket starters in. Get one from Honda. Not other way to stop the issue.
Honda starters are $400. I did friends car Costs him $650
Had my starter replaced with oem starter on an 08 civic after breaking down on Christmas. Total was $800 but they claimed the starter itself was more than half the cost.
my 2015 Fit EX seems to be having the same problem on about the same timeline. Got the starter replaced maybe 4-6 years ago (also, starter replaced on a 3-4 year old car? Sheesh) and just this morning, lots of clicking and dash lights come on but no engine turnover.
