Where are the bolts on starter for a 2003 Dodge Caravan?

The exact location of the starter bolts on a 2003 Dodge Caravan depends slightly on the engine (3.3L or 3.8L). However, they're generally located on the bottom of the starter motor, meaning you'll likely need to work from underneath the vehicle.

You'll need to:

1. Safely raise and secure the vehicle: Use jack stands, never rely solely on a jack.

2. Locate the starter: It's usually on the passenger side of the engine block, towards the bottom.

3. Expect two bolts: Most starters have two bolts securing them to the engine block. They're usually 14mm or 15mm, but you'll want to double-check with a socket set.

Because accessing the starter requires working underneath the vehicle and potentially dealing with hot engine components, this is a job best left to someone with mechanical experience if you're not comfortable working under your car. Improperly working under a vehicle can be extremely dangerous.

Before you begin, consult a repair manual specific to your 2003 Dodge Caravan's engine (3.3L or 3.8L). A repair manual will provide detailed diagrams and instructions, including the exact bolt sizes and locations for your specific model. You can find these manuals online or at auto parts stores.
