Hello,
Starter is dead, car won't start. I swap/tested the starter relay under the driver side panel and also removed the steering column shroud and tapped the ignition switch, neither of these was the issue so I want to tap hammer the starter to try and get it started one last time so I can bring it to a shop for repairs. I know where it is, but I don't see a way to reach it to give it a tap while someone turns the key. Can someone point me to the best angle of approach?
Thanks

 

Not a real good way of getting to it - my 07 4 cyl isn't home right now so I'm going on memory

A long reach screwdriver between the intake runners is about the only thing I can think of.

Even if the starter is the issue, trying a "boost/jump start" might give enough extra to over come worn contacts in the solenoid.

Sorry I don't have better details - just trying to give some ideas.

 

Thank you for the response. Tried a few different ways, but none of them worked. Even tried the jumpstart method. In the end I had it towed away to the shop. Should be ready tomorrow. Those are the breaks
