Are Pakistani car mechanics misdiagnosing battery problems as starter motor failure in Changan Kalam?

Weak batteries often mimic starter failure symptoms. Are workshops replacing starters without proper testing?

Unfortunately, yes — very often.

A weak o r sulfated battery can mimic a dead starter.

Many mechanics don’t:

Perform load testing

Check voltage

Inspect ground connections

➡️ This leads to unnecessary starter replacements, when the real issue is battery o r alternator related.
