There have been issues with my Ford's start-up. I think the problem is with the starter. How do I change the starter on a 2004 Ford Freestar?

You can change the starter in a 2004 Ford Freestar at home or by heading to a mechanic.
A starter is a battery-powered motor that helps start your engine. If your starter is not working, you’ll have trouble turning on your engine. If you’re hoping to change your starter yourself, here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Remove all the wiring and battery cable from the starter
- Undo the starter’s restraining bolts, then remove the starter
- Place the new starter in the old starter’s position
- Secure the restraining bolts to hold the starter in place
- Reconnect all the wiring
If this seems intimidating, then it’s time to head to a mechanic! Unfortunately, a starter replacement part is likely to cost a few hundred dollars.
