We at Eubanks Auto Electric specialize in working on trucks, tractors, industrial equipment, and similar vehicles. Our team understands how much you rely on these vehicles to do your job, so we want to help you keep them in good working order.
In this article, we will go over some common issues that can frequently impact truck starters. If you notice any of the following things happening to your truck, we encourage you to give us a call.
- Dead Battery – One common issue affecting truck starters can be found not in the starters themselves, but in the batteries powering them. The starter draws electrical power from the battery and uses that to kickstart the rest of the engine. If the battery has no power to give, then the starter can’t do its job.
- Faulty Connections – Another possible cause behind malfunctioning truck starters is faulty connections. Sometimes the starter is working, and the battery is working, but the cable connecting them has been damaged and can’t provide power from one to the other. The starter may also not be properly connected to the rest of the engine.
- Starter Motor – A third common problem affecting truck starters is damaged motors. When your starter motor gets damaged or worn-out, it will become less effective at starting the rest of the engine. When your starter reaches this point, it may need to be replaced altogether. Fortunately, our team has the right experience to provide the effective, reliable solutions you need to solve all your truck starter problems.
