• Q: How to replace the starter motor on 2004 Chevrolet Astro?

  A: To replace the Starter motor, disconnect the battery negative cable and lift the vehicle. Take out the bolts of the Starter motor and any old shims, and lower the Starter motor. Before removing the Starter motor, disconnect the Starter enable relay lead, the battery positive cable and the generator output (BAT) leads from the Starter solenoid field leads. For installation, join the Starter motor field leads with a loosely mounted Starter enable relay lead to the Starter solenoid terminal that has their terminal retaining tab matching with the solenoid. Loosely install the generator output (BAT) lead and the battery positive cable to the solenoid terminal with the battery positive cable terminal retaining tab to the Starter solenoid. Tighten the Starter enable relay lead nut and tighten battery positive cable nut to 2 nm (18 lb in) and 9 nm (80 lb in), respectively. Mount the two Starter motor bolts and shims (if required) from the Starter to the engine and tighten the bolts to 43 nm (32 lb ft). Lastly, lower the vehicle and reconnect the battery negative leg.
