How to take starter motor off honda 1211. Access is diff because the plastic body seems to be in the way

The wiring to most starter motors is usually simple. There will be One large cable connected with a nut to the back of the starter motor body and a pair of thin wires usually connected with a plastic connector block to the smaller round unit on the side of the starter motor.
The large cable will be connected to the battery as the main power source for the starter motor and the smaller wires are from the ignition switch to operate the solenoid switch to trigger the starter when you turn the key.

Check grounds. 3 main ones are battery to engine, battery to body and engine to body. Also check for corrosion at the battery. I have seen corrosion travel in the positive cable 6 inches.

this is part of the park-dimmer circuit (CR-V)
to fix this, requires only access and risk.
most folks ignore it but not me, id risk breaking this old plastic.

the FSM covers this ,so is no secret, "body section"
alldata dot com might in the body section
in some cases you must remove the front bezzel
they pry off, (risk) and gain access to the lamp holder.
if you look on line at the parts section of any online honda dealer
you can see the full blow up drawing and all those hidden clips
for free. ever do that, buy a part online at a dealer yet?
i use special plastic pry bars to pull these.

see body pages. the real FSM shows removing just about anything on car. get the FSM.

A howling noise from a diff is an indication of the gear mesh( pinion to crown wheel) is not correct. Several reasons being worn pinion bearings--loss of preload on the pinion bearings --- crown wheel carrier bearings failing ---not sufficient preload on the bearings---wear on the teeth from incorrect diff oil in use. or simply wrong diff oil. The grade should be 80w90 OEP for normal or special oil for limited slip diffs.

NOPE - ONLY SINCE THE BODY STYLES WERE DIFF. BUT TYPE S WAS RELEASED THEN TOO!THE TYPE S NO ALL OTHERS IF DOOR DID NOT CHANGE..GIE ME YOUR VIN, I'LL CHECK FOR YOU AT WORK TOMORROW

Patrick J Farone wants answers to this question 2017
5 different engines, which one?>
USA car? why skip that,?
ever seen a starter ever,
ever do work on one ever? be key fact to know, right?
Patrick. most engines are the same, 99%
the only real question is it top or bottom access
but no engine stated so that cant be answered, the 2.4 is top


why piggy-back? generic>
1: pull neg. battery lug or boom eat acid and go blind.
2: jackup car, to stands, on jack stands,
3: see starter there, any shelds off now. gain access is NOW.
4: remove all wires to it now.
5: remove all base bolts, it falls and hits your head, duck please.
6: reverse above, should not have to be said but there.

watch 100s do it on Utube yet? no lack of examples there.
all cars same once seen with eyes have you?

now ill do 2.0/2.4L jeeps (from the SM, usa issue)

1. Open hood.
2. Remove air cleaner box and air tube.
3. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable
4. Remove starter motor mounting bolt.
5. Disconnect the electrical connector at throttle body.
6. Remove Throttle body bolts and remove throttle body.
7. push starter under intake manifold.
8. Tip starter nose toward cooling module.
9. Pull starter up and out.
10. Disconnect starter motor wiring.
11. Remove starter motor from vehicle.

Have someone check throttle body. Sounds like it's bad.

Some times this job is just patience and persistence. Make sure you've got all the body panels, sections of wiring harness etc out of the way to make it easier.
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY!!!
Starters use VERY HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect the wires from the starter. NOTE these terminals can snap if your too rough.
remove the two mounting bolts at the end nearest to you.
The motor should slide out. If not wriggle it and GENTLY lever it side to side. It should drop out.

Check all other battery connections, battery to motor and body. Also Motor to Body ground strap. Make sure all connections are not corroded. If that does not help check starter soloinoid and starter

Dis connect the battery. You have to remove the intake to gain access to the starter motor.Once you remove the intake the starter motor is in the vally.Be careful of the throttle body not to brake the duct from the throttle body to the intake. Hope this helps
