• Q: How to service and repair the starter motor on 2003 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: Repairing or servicing the Starter motor requires users to start by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable followed by removing the Catalytic Converter. The service starts with unscrewing the positive cable nut before working on the positive cable terminal and engine harness leads connecting to the solenoid. Remove the s terminal nut followed by the purple wire lead together with its washer which both reside on the solenoid. Before removing the Starter motor support it first and uninstall the bolts from the Starter motor. Install the Starter motor by placing it onto the block and tighten its bolts with a torque of 50 n.m (37 lbft). Position the Starter motor s terminal washer together with purple lead wire to the 10:00 orientation. The s terminal nut installation requires 4 n.m (35 lb in) torque while it must be positioned so the gray and rust harness leads face the 6:00 and 7:00 positions. Field the gray and rust harness leads toward the solenoid then apply the positive Battery Cable terminal followed by its nut before tightening it to 8 n.m (71 lb in). To complete the process install the Catalytic Converter then connect the negative Battery Cable.
