If your Santa Fe cranks slowly, clicks, or won't start, the starter may be the problem. The PMGR 12 Volt Starter from Denparts fits the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe with the 3.3L engine. It replaces Hyundai part number 36100-3C221 and Delco part number 8000470.

What a Starter Does

When you turn the key, the battery sends power to the starter, which spins the engine until it runs on its own.

Key Specs

PMGR stands for Permanent Magnet Gear Reduction, a design that gives strong cranking power while using less battery energy. This starter is 12V and 1.4 kW, rotates clockwise, and has a 12-tooth pinion gear with a two-hole flange mount.

Other Vehicles

It is also listed for the Hyundai Azera 2011–2015, Kia Cadenza 2014–2015, Kia Sedona 2016 and Kia Sorento 2014–2015, all with the 3.3L engine.

Check Before You Buy

Model year alone isn't enough. Confirm you have the 3.3L engine, match your old starter's part number to 36100-3C221 or 8000470, and compare the voltage, rotation, teeth and mounting holes.

Rule Out Other Causes

Slow cranking doesn't always mean a bad starter. A weak battery, corroded terminals, damaged cables or a charging problem can cause the same symptoms, so check those first.

Installation Tips

Disconnect the negative battery cable first. Clean the terminals, start the bolts by hand to avoid cross-threading, and tighten them to the manufacturer's specs. Secure every wire, then reconnect the battery and test.

Final Thoughts

If your Santa Fe 3.3L needs a new starter, this PMGR unit is a listed replacement for 36100-3C221 and 8000470. Check your details first, then view the product on Denparts.
