The average cost of a BMW 540IT starter is between $171.99 and $171.99.
The BMW 540i Touring (540iT) starter is an electrical motor that initiates the engine's operation. Its main function is to engage with the flywheel or flex plate and turn the engine over, enabling the combustion process to begin. The starter also contains a solenoid that triggers the motor when the key is turned in the ignition switch.
Signs of a Faulty BMW 540IT Starter
Here are some common signs of a faulty BMW 540IT starter:
- Engine cranks slowly: If you hear a slow cranking sound when trying to start your BMW 540IT, it could be a sign of a faulty starter.
- Clicking noise: A clicking sound coming from under the hood of your BMW 540IT when you turn the key in the ignition is a sign that the starter motor is failing.
- No response: If there is no response when you turn the key in the ignition, it is possible that the starter has failed completely.
- Grinding sound: A grinding noise when starting your BMW 540IT can indicate that the starter motor gear is worn out and needs replacement.
- Electrical issues: If you are experiencing other electrical problems with your BMW 540IT, such as dimming lights or a weak battery, this could also be an indication that the starter is failing.
Steps for Testing Your BMW 540IT Starter
Here are the steps to test a BMW 540IT starter:
- Begin by checking the car battery voltage using a multimeter. Verify that it is above 12 volts.
- Turn on the headlights and verify that they are bright and not dim. If they are dim, charge or replace the battery as needed.
- Locate the starter motor under the hood of the car.
- Check the wiring connections on the starter motor. Make sure they are tight and secure.
- Check the solenoid (if equipped) for proper operation. You can do this by jumping the solenoid with a jumper wire and checking if the starter turns over.
- Check the starter relay (if equipped) for proper operation. You can do this by swapping the relay with another one of the same type in the car and testing the starter.
- Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage at the starter terminals while the ignition key is turned to the “start” position. It should read between 11 and 14 volts.
- Check the starter motor brushes (if present) for wear. They should have at least 5mm of life remaining.
- Remove the starter motor from the car and bench test it using a battery and a set of jumper cables. Connect the battery positive cable to the starter motor terminal and the negative cable to the starter motor case. The starter should turn over quickly and smoothly.
- If all of the previous steps test okay, then the starter motor is likely good.
