2013 BRZ replacement starter, correct part help
Hello. I've been unable to drive my baby due to my issue detailed here. I believe that I may need a new starter. Wanted to know if anyone had the correct part/location for me to order.
Still open to figuring out what the hell is going on with my car. Coils were another option for what may be causing it not to start. |

It would be really unusual for the starter to fail on any modern car in only 2-3 years. The last starter I replaced was in 1992 on my 1988 Taurus.
If your car cranks (meaning the starter spins the engine over), then the problem is not the starter |

From your other thread
In short, On the highway in 4th, heard an odd noise, slow down as I'm making my exit, get down the gears proper to neutral before the light, no power. All my lights cut on as if I just turned on the car for the electronics only. Same thing continues to happen when I try to start it now. It'll click, the electronics come on, but the engine won't start. No issues this morning driving to work, really not sure what's wrong. That's very unlikely to be caused by the starter motor. It likely to be and electrical issue that's caused the engine to shut down. Best to take it to a shop unless your skilled at diagnostics and have obd scantool and multimeters wiring diagrams. you would be better off scanning for fault codes via obd port. Might give a clue. and checking fuses and fusible links. Heard of a couple of cars that had wiring short under bonnet, somewhere round the direct injection wiring loom from memory and it takes out main ecu fuse.

take to shop and borrow a obd2 reader maybe something will show up. have them take a look they'll possibly even quick check for free (try several place, they might give you some inaccurate info)
if some does come up for example starter or alternator or etc call in toyota/scion and have them transfer you to parts department than ask them. good luck friend |

OH for crying out loud get the battery checked properly. Between these two threads the battery was mentioned so many times that I can not figure out why it has been cast aside for other scenarios. Every single symptom points to a bad battery. Trying to boost it once does not constitute a check.
The starter would not come into play with about 90% of the issues described. A $5 meter from any discount shop will tell you the volts and amps and then you can go from there.

Hence the comment to just go to the dealer, with all his/her fiddling around he's sure to blow something out. I wouldn't trust him to work on it anymore

Check for codes? Replace starters? And my favourite in this case was the coil. Electrical issues you need to start with battery, move to fuses, onto relays, then to mechanicals and motors. Not to mention that the BRZs have an often discussed issue with batteries dying even if we haven't figured out just why yet.

Also the stock Panasonic battery isn't too good, I remember when the car first came out a few people were having issues with the battery only lasting 2-3 years

For such a big heavy battery, it is pretty light duty. IIRC, the CCA rating is only 390. My lawn tractor has more than that.

Not to hijack the thread but since we are on a battery discussion I'm looking to replace my original 2013 Panasonic before the next winter. Any good suggestions? I use to go to Red Tops but that was years ago.
