what does the solenoid look like when it is hooked up correctly on a Ford e150 econoline van
Most of the time it looks like a frog sitting on your pipe
you willl have to be way more specific about what solenoid you are looking for there are many solenioids that have different purposes on every vehicle.
on starters that have the solenoid mounted on them, the link is a fork like piece between the solonoid and the starter clutch, which is on the motor shaft. on starters that dont have the solenoid on the starter, it just has a overrunning clutch on the motor shaft
Here is a link to a store that sells them. There is a good picture that you can use to identify the solenoid. http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=3160204.
the solenoid is located on the bottom of the transmission. You have to drop the trans pan and it will the the one on the driverside closest to the t/converter.
I would like to buy a starter without a solenoid.
Just follow the positive battery wire to the strarter solenoid post. The starter is attached to that solenoid at the back side of the engine Close to the tranmission.
Like this: solenoid.
Starter solenoid? Follow the + battery cable will connect to starter solenoid One large cable from battery One large cable to starter One small "trigger" wire located in middle of other 2 cables Usually mounted to the inner fender
you'll need a diagram see if your local library has a free professional shop manual to look at... dave
look at it
The starter is located directly below the distributor. Around there, you can look for a body that look like two cans, one smaller and one bigger(the bigger one is about and looks similar to a medium size clam chowder can). The smaller one(which has 3 wires attached to it) is the starter solenoid.
