OEM Kia Starters

Your Kia car, SUV, or minivan features a starter that's responsible for cranking the vehicle's engine. It uses a starter relay and dedicated starter motor to do that, once you either turn the ignition key or press the "Start" button. If you have a smart key fob, you can even use that to get the engine running – simply press the designated button in the right sequence. That comes in handy when the weather is extreme and you want to get the cabin temperature moderated before climbing in for your drive.

How to Spot Starter Problems

Eventually, though, even the best starter can go bad. Whether that's due to loose wires, corroded or filthy battery terminals, a rusty battery, or worn-out parts, you'll want to remedy the situation ASAP. Signs of failure include:

• Your vehicle won't start
• You hear a loud clicking sound when you try to start your Kia
• You can only start your vehicle if it's in a specific gear
• You can't jump-start your Kia
• Your starter is covered in oil or has smoke coming from it
• The dash lights come on but you can't get the engine to crank
