Re: Any indications of starter motor dying? I think mine is!

I had my starter motor replaced a few weeks ago. The way I could tell that it was the starter motor was that it made a 'ticking' sound everytime i tried to start the car. I turned the key a few times and eventually it would crank over. It wouldn't be the battery or engine being cold because this would happen anytime during the day.
You could get a reconditioned one for cheap, and if you want to make your next starter motor last longer, put a booster in (relay) this stregthens the start and is noticable when you crank it.
Good Luck!
