I think it is next to the starter solenoid close to the battery.

Low battery voltage will cause clicks, and it is also possible that the starter solenoid is too worn in which case replacing the whole starter is best.

Starter has no voltage or insufficient to turn engine, possibly bad solenoid or something wrong with connections.

What are the parts of a starter in a 1994 ford escort lx?

The main parts are the starter motor, starter drive gear and starter solenoid. Look up '94 Ford Escort LX in the RockAuto.com parts catalog and look under Electrical to see photos of the starter and its parts. Make sure the voltage from the ignition key wire to the solenoid is > 3 volts before replacing the starter. If a low voltage is coming into the solenoid then a new starter and solenoid will not fix the starting problem and the new solenoid could be damaged. Look up '94 Ford Escort LX in the autosparepartsusa.com i am sure you will get there


How do you hookup the solenoid switch on a F150 pickup 5.0 after replacing it?

To hookup the solenoid switch on F150 pick-up 5.0 after replacing it, first connect a voltmeter or test light to the solenoid's S terminal. Make sure the starter receives voltage at that terminal when the ignition switch is in the on position.


Have a 1992 Dodge Ram 50 When you turn the key the lights on the dash come on but the starter does nothing you have had the Battery tested the starter tested you have replaced the ECM and Starter?

You should locate and test the solenoid. Most have three connections. There is a large cable from the battery to the solenoid, from the solenoid to the starter and from the start switch to the solenoid. The power terminals to the battery and the starter are large and have large cables. The starter switch connection is much smaller. Turning the key to 'start' provides a low current voltage to the solenoid causing the solenoid relay to close and power from the battery cable to connect through to the starter. If that voltage is present then the solenoid or the wiring between the solenoid and battery or solenoid and starter is suspect. If that voltage is missing then the starter switch or solenoid feed line may have failed.

Engine turns over but car wont start when cold when warn car starts 1996 Kia Sephia 1.8 automatic?

If your car works fine when its not cold and only wont start when its cold outside then its a bad solenoid and most likely the one that regulates voltage to your starter. This solenoid can not be replaced with out replacing the starter because they are combined. Unless you have a aftermarket starter that will let replace the solenoid without replacing the starter. So all you have to do is take it to a shop and have a new starter put in and your prob should be fixed.

How do you trouble shoot John deere Lt 155 solenoid?

I have a JD LT 155 C. I have replaced the solenoid and the mower still want start. There is 12 volts between the battery and the solenoid. When I test the voltage between the solenoid and the starter, the reading is 5 to 6 volts. Why is there a drop in the voltage to the starter?


Why does the starter keep going after it starts the engine?

Usually one of three reasons. Starter is staying energized from starter switch or starter solenoid is bad internally or bendix gear on the end of the starter is not retracting. Tests: "bump" the starter with a momentary pulse of the key. If it continues to crank after releasing the key it's electrical. If not then probably gear is stuck or damaged. Check gear at flywheel. Should slide in and out of engagement freely. If problem is electrical then locate starter engagement wire at solenoid. And when motor starts check for battery voltage at that wire when disconnected. If it has voltage then suspect switch. If not then check for voltage at solenoid terminal. If voltage then replace solenoid or starter if integral.
