What are the common signs of a faulty starter motor in a Honda City in Pakistan?

Pakistani Honda City owners often face starting problems, but how can they differentiate between a weak battery and a failing starter motor? What are the key symptoms, such as a clicking sound, slow cranking, o r complete failure?

A weak battery and a failing starter motor can both cause starting issues, but they have distinct symptoms. A faulty starter motor often results in a clicking sound when you turn the key, o r it may produce slow cranking o r even complete failure to start the car. If the battery is weak, you may hear a faint clicking sound o r no sound at all, but if the starter motor is at fault, it usually tries to engage but fails. A key sign is when you hear the clicking sound repeatedly with no engine turnover.
