Jeep R6029852AA Starter Motor Reman

To remove the starter in 2.7L Charger and all 300 V6 models: Remove the bolt securing the intermediate steering shaft to the lower steering coupling shaft and separate the two shafts. On all 2011 and later V6 models, remove the intermediate shaft completely. Remove the left-side catalytic converter. On 3.6L models, remove the starter motor heat shield. On all models, remove the nut securing the battery cable to the terminal stud on the starter solenoid, disconnect the cable from the terminal stud, and disconnect the electrical connector from the spade terminal on the solenoid. Remove the starter mounting bolts and the electrical harness/oil cooler line clip. To remove the starter, pull it forward and down, work it up over the exhaust pipe, then work it past the disconnected steering shafts. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands.

The issue may lie with the battery, starter relay (if equipped), main solenoid contacts, starter motor itself, or a seized engine.

Begin by disconnecting the cable(s) from the negative battery terminal(s). Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. On certain models with 4WD and specific transmissions, there may be a support bracket blocking access to the lower starter mounting bolt. If present, remove the support bracket bolts and pry it aside. Remove the heat shield, if equipped, from the starter motor. Next, remove the nut securing the battery cable to the terminal stud on the starter solenoid and disconnect the cable from the terminal stud. Disconnect the electrical connector from the spade terminal on the solenoid. On models with a manual transmission, remove the starter mounting bolt and nut. On models with an automatic transmission, remove the two starter mounting bolts. Move the starter motor towards the front of the vehicle until the nose of the starter pinion housing clears the transmission bellhousing. Tilt the nose down and lower the starter to access the wiring connectors more easily. Finally, disconnect the battery cable and electrical connector from the terminals on the starter motor solenoid and remove the starter. For HEMI engines, follow a similar process, but also remove the two starter motor mounting bolts. For diesel engines, disconnect the wiring harness and battery cable from the starter, remove the three starter mounting bolts, and then remove the starter.
