Details

A healthy battery doesn't accomplish much if the starter can't turn the engine. The AccuPart Starter Motor for the 2002-07 Jeep Liberty KJ with the 3.7L V6, as well as the 2005–2009 Grand Cherokee WK and 2006–2009 Commander XK models with the 4.7L V8, provides an application-specific replacement for a worn, intermittent, or failed original starter. Designed around the specifications of the factory-style unit, this starter combines a 10-tooth drive, clockwise rotation, and 12-volt operation for proper compatibility with the vehicle's starting system.

Those specifications matter when selecting a replacement. A starter that looks similar on the workbench isn't necessarily correct once it meets the flywheel. The 10-tooth drive provides proper engagement, and clockwise motor rotation matches the required operating direction for this application. This AccuPart starter follows the same basic application as OE replacement number 56041641AG, helping take some of the guesswork out of matching a replacement.

Starter motors operate in a particularly demanding environment. Engine heat, vibration, moisture, electrical load, and thousands of starting cycles can eventually lead to slow cranking, intermittent engagement, clicking without engine turnover, or a complete no-crank condition. Replacing a failing starter restores one of the most important links between the battery and engine, helping provide consistent cranking whenever you turn the key.

The AccuPart Starter Motor is designed as a direct-fit replacement, not a universal component. OE-style mounting points and electrical connections allow it to install in the factory location and work with the existing starting system. Whether you're troubleshooting something that is increasingly reluctant to start or replacing a starter that has already called it quits, this application-specific unit provides a straightforward way to put dependable starting performance back into your KJ.
