6004AA0020 Starter Motor for Chevrolet – 12V 1.1 kW 9-Tooth Automotive Starter, Ref 022069E2, 113029

6004AA0020 Starter Motor for Chevrolet – 12V, 1.1 kW

This 6004AA0020 starter motor is listed by the supplier for Chevrolet vehicles and carries two further reference numbers, 022069E2 and 113029. It runs on 12 volts, is rated at 1.1 kW and drives the flywheel through a 9-tooth pinion. Easy Life Markets sells it as a single unit for owners and workshops replacing a starter with one of those three numbers on it.

If you are here, the chances are your car has started clicking instead of cranking. That click is the solenoid pulling in without the motor following through, and it is the most common way a starter announces that it is worn out. Worn brushes, burnt solenoid contacts and a tired drive gear are the usual culprits, and on most modern starters it makes more sense to swap the whole unit than to rebuild it. The starter article describes how the pieces work together.

Compatibility

The supplier lists this starter for Chevrolet and gives no model, year or engine. Chevrolet sells very different cars in different parts of the world, so the badge alone cannot tell you whether this unit suits yours. The three reference numbers can. Here is the order we would check things in:

1. Read the label on the starter fitted to your car. If it shows 6004AA0020, 022069E2 or 113029, you have a match on the number.
2. Confirm the electrical rating. The old unit should say 12 V and 1.1 kW, or very close to it.
3. Count the pinion teeth. You need 9.
4. Compare the mounting. Use the photos on this page to compare the bolt holes, the nose of the drive housing and the solenoid position with your old starter.
5. Use the VIN. A Chevrolet dealer or an online catalogue can tell you the starter number for your exact car. You can also message us with the VIN and we will help you check.

About the Three Reference Numbers

Starters are often sold under several numbers at once. One may be the number the vehicle maker uses, another the number of the company that built the original unit, and a third a catalogue number used by parts distributors. The supplier does not say which is which here, and we will not guess. What matters for you is simple: if any one of the three is on your old starter, you are comparing like with like. If none of them is, stop and check before ordering.

Signs Your Starter Needs Replacing

• Clicking from under the bonnet with no cranking
• The engine turns over slowly and unevenly, although the battery tests fine
• Grinding when the starter engages, or a whine after the engine has started
• Nothing at all happens when you turn the key, yet the lights and radio work normally
• The problem is worse when the engine is hot
• Smoke or a burning smell from the starter area after cranking

The last one is serious. Stop cranking and disconnect the battery if you see or smell smoke.

Installation Notes

• Always disconnect the battery before you start. The main starter cable is connected straight to the battery positive.
• Get a good look at the access. On some engines the starter comes out from above, on others from below, and sometimes an intake pipe or bracket has to come off first.
• Mark the wires as you remove them from the solenoid.
• Bench-compare the new starter with the old one before fitting: teeth, flange, terminals.
• Make sure the mounting face is clean bare metal, then tighten the bolts evenly to the service manual torque.
• Refit the wires, reconnect the battery and crank the engine a few times, listening for clean engagement.

This is a job a competent home mechanic can do, but it involves heavy current and working under the vehicle. If that is outside your comfort zone, book it in with a qualified mechanic.

Getting the Most From a New Starter

Three habits help. First, keep the battery in good condition, because a starter fed with low voltage overheats. Second, do not hold the key in the start position once the engine has fired. Third, if the engine will not start, crank in short bursts with a pause in between instead of one long attempt. A starter is built for short bursts of work, not continuous running.

Who This Part Is For

Chevrolet owners who have found one of the three numbers on their old unit, independent garages matching a part to a job, and parts buyers who search by reference number will get the most from this listing. If you are still at the stage of diagnosing a no-start, test the battery and cables first.

Common Questions

Is this a genuine Chevrolet or GM part? No. It is an aftermarket starter sold under reference numbers. It is not a genuine part of the vehicle maker.

Which Chevrolet models does it fit? The supplier does not name models. Match the number, the 9 teeth and the 12 V 1.1 kW rating against your old starter.

Do I need to buy a solenoid separately? The listing is for a starting motor as shown in the photos. Compare the pictures with your old unit to be sure everything you need is there.
