Convertible, Stratus, Town & Country, Voyager, 300M
NOTE: For models not covered in this article, see STARTERS -
AVENGER, SEBRING COUPE & TALON article.
DESCRIPTION
Bosch, Melco and Mitsubishi starters use a planetary gear
train that transmits power from starter motor to pinion shaft. Six
permanent magnets (Bosch and Melco starters) or 4 permanent magnets
(Mitsubishi starters) are used, eliminating potential field wire-to-
frame short circuits.
Nippondenso starter is a 4-field, 4-brush, 12-volt motor with
a solenoid mounted within the housing. The unit has a 2-to-1 reduction
gear set in a die cast aluminum housing. Starter has serviceable gear
and clutch assembly only. If starter solenoid fails, entire starter
motor must be replaced.
All models use a starter relay in starter circuit between the
battery and starter solenoid terminal. Automatic Transmission (A/T)
equipped vehicles use a Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch or a
Transmission Range (TR) sensor to provide ground path for the starter
relay. Manual Transmission (M/T) equipped vehicles use a clutch pedal
position switch to provide battery voltage from ignition switch to the
starter relay. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
