What common problems can occur with the Ford Fiesta starter?

I've been hearing a strange clicking sound when trying to start my Ford Fiesta. Is this a sign that the starter is about to fail? What are some common problems that can occur with the starter and what should I do about it?

It could be a sign of a failing starter, but it could also be a sign of loose connections or a weak battery. Have you checked the battery and connections first? If those seem fine, then it's likely a problem with the starter and you should have it checked by a mechanic.

I've had issues with my Ford Fiesta starter before and it turned out to be a faulty starter solenoid. It's a relatively easy and inexpensive fix, but it's best to have a professional take a look and diagnose the issue.

Sometimes, a clicking sound can also be caused by a worn out ignition switch. If the sound only happens occasionally, it's worth having the switch checked as well.
