2006 Buick Rendezvous Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the starter motor on 2006 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: You can start by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable then perform the lift and vehicle support as the next step. First remove the bolt that anchors the front transaxle closeout cover and then take off the cover. First detach the Starter Solenoid "bat" terminal nut as well as the positive Battery Cable terminal from the Starter Solenoid and then separate the Starter Solenoid "s" terminal nut before removing the engine harness terminal from the Starter Solenoid. Begin by taking out the Starter bolts before removing the Starter. New Starter motor installation requires you to tighten the cap-adjacent nut on the solenoid bat terminal first so electrical connections do not cause accidental damage. Insert the Starter into its designated engine block position then bolt it in place using a torque setting of 40 n.m (30 lb ft). Reconnect the Starter Solenoid's engine harness terminal followed by tightening the "s" terminal nut to 3 n.m (27 lb in). First thread the positive cable terminal of the battery to the solenoid before tightening the nut on the solenoid "bat" terminal to 13 n.m (115 lb in tolerance). Reinstallation of the front transaxle closeout cover with its bolt requires tightening the bolt to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Finish by lowering the vehicle then reestablishing the negative Battery Cable connection.
