What electrical part are you referring to? If it's the starter solenoid, then, yes, they can go bad and your starter can still be good. It may be as simple as a loose connection. Disconnect your battery ground and then make sure your electrical connections are clean and tight on the starter and see if that effects it. How many miles are on your vehicle and how many times a day do you crank it on average? If you're going to go to the trouble to pull the starter and change the solenoid, then take it somewhere and have it bench tested. If you plan of just trying to change the solenoid without removing the starter, I guess you could, but you'd best remember to disconnect the battery first!
