What is the cost to replace a starter in a 04 Ford Taurus?

Answer 1

I just replaced the starter on my 2006 Ford Taurus at 79,000 miles. Auto Zone for their limited lifetime, re-manufactured starter, $139.99 + tax, plus a $50 core refunded when you return the old starter.

The car was dead, so it was jacked up to place on ramps for sufficient clearance from below. Total time was about 1.5 hours to replace the starter. The starter bolts can be removed with a 13mm box end, but is easier with a socket and ratchet. The electrical connections take a 13 mm and a 10 mm. The battery terminal requires a 8 mm. You must disconnect the battery!
