Often it is the contacts in the solenoid on the side of the starter that is the problem. They can be fixed at home depending on the type. You need to get the cover off and that can be easy or very difficult depending on whether it is crimped shut all the way round, partially round or simply bolted on . If you can get the cover off it will probably be the terminals are worn. If this is the case sometimes you can simply turn the terminals over to get a nice clean surface again.. I had 2 fail in 2 days .. Both strangely enough while my wife was driving.. First was in the family fuel miser Hyundai GETZ 6 lphk of 91 octane.. half the price of the rexs to get around.. and then while it was in being replaced with an ebay special she took my Club Spec rex and it died latter that same day... I got a new one with 3 year warranty for $220 from Subievo and fitted it myself.. Easy job once IC is off.
