The Starter Motor is also used in Dodge Grand Caravan primarily to start the operation of the engine through the power derived from the vehicle battery. To accomplish this, the vehicle makes use of an externally mounted solenoid that is connected to the battery to energise the starter motor. The starter has a rotating armature with field coils or permanent magnets; a drive gear also meshes with the engine flywheel each time the ignition is set to START. In the past few years the Dodge Grand Caravan has come with different styles of Starter Motors inclusive of the Gear Reduction start motor for efficiency and torque. As for starters, the OE starters are made for the regular engines and need reinforcement for the high-compression engines, which may cause starters to fail. The enhancements in the ability of the 'Starter Motor' for the Dodge Grand Caravan showcases improvements in technology, to provide a continually proper supply of engined-impetus.
