https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/a745897d-0893-4221-9b31-1692914e8268 This 2009 Kia Sportage V6 wore out the original Starter Motor at 170k miles. Intermittently it would be a "No-CRANK". I installed a brand NEW DENSO Starter from Rock Auto. Made in KOREA! Well, 3 WEEKS later, the Kia left the owner STRANDED at work...after start up, smoke started pouring from under the hood and the car STALLED OUT!! No Crank. It REEKS of FRIED Electrical! Let's limp the Kia into the shop and explore WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED to this NEW DENSO STARTER?? Owner is ready to TRADE IN the Kia, but still needs it back on the road ASAP to get to work! WHAT TO DO??
