✅ Preventive Measures:
Tip Why It Helps
🔋 Keep battery healthy Weak battery increases starter load
🔧 Check ground & terminals Prevents resistance overheating
🧽 Keep engine bay clean Protects against dust & moisture
⏲️ Avoid repeated cranking Prevents starter overheating
🔍 Inspect wiring & fuses Prevents false starter faults
🛠️ Service starter motor after 40,000 km Clean brushes, check wear early

➡️ Also, educate drivers to avoid holding the key too long if the engine doesn’t fire — that’s a major killer of starter motors.
