What are the signs of a worn o r busted starter motor in the Hyundai Oshan X7, and how can I confirm it?

Lately, I’ve noticed the engine is slow to crank o r takes multiple attempts to start. Are these signs of a failing starter, and how do I confirm if the starter motor is actually the problem and not the battery o r immobilizer?

Common signs of a failing starter motor include:

Slow o r labored cranking even with a healthy battery.

Grinding noise when trying to start — could indicate worn gears.

Click but no crank — solenoid activates but motor doesn’t spin.

The engine starts only after multiple key turns o r tapping the starter.

How to confirm:

Use a multimeter to check if power is reaching the starter when the key is turned.

Perform a voltage test from battery to starter terminal.

Take the starter to a reputable electrician e.g., Saddar Karachi, Montgomery Lahore, o r F-10 Islamabad for bench testing.
