So i drove my car to work today, took a lunch break, went to the bank, went to my buddies house to help unload a bike. went to leave and my car wont start..... nothing happens at all.... dash lights all come on, battery is working just fine. but i dont get a crank, or whin or spin or click out of anything, so after checking fuses and the battery i bump started the car and drove home. seems like my starter went bad, 60k on the car. so i thought i would put this out there. new starter gonna be $150 and labor is 1.5 hrs. before i bring to the shop, could i have a loose wire or connection, is there an easy fix for this..lol? not sure were the starter is located, i assume near the alternator which is on the passenger side behind the motor. is this a job i could do myself and save on labor costs? any input or info would be great guys, i have the weekend before i bring to shop.
