sometimes, but contact your local auto parts store to see if it is even sold seperately
The starter solenoid on a Honda Element is integral to the starter. It cannot be replaced without replacing the starter as well.
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.
It "CAN", but why would you want to? The contacts in the solenoid wear at about the same rate as everything else inside the starter. If the solenoid is bad you'll be better off just replacing the whole thing because the brushes or bushings will be going next then you'll get to remove/replace the starter again.
Sounds like starter solenoid needs to be replaced
I would like to buy a starter without a solenoid.
A starter solenoid can be bypassed by connecting a jumper wire between the battery and ignition posts on the starter. This will cause it to spin immediately without using the ignition switch.
Even if it is possible it would be much easier to remove the starter and replace the selenoid with the starter on the bench. Your best bet would be just to buy a remanufactured complet starter assembly and replace the whole thing.
Might be a defective starter solenoid
One of two things can cause this clicking without a response from the starter, 1 the contacts inside the solenoid are burned or dirty and 2 the starter itself is faulty. The starter solenoid is mounted on the starter. I would assume that this is where the click is coming from there are two large terminals on this solenoid. One is the Battery power direct from the battery and the second is the output to the starter motor. The solenoid is basicaly and electromagnetic switch or relay that makes contact between that battery and the starter when you turn the key. Take a piece of heavy duty wire or a screwdriver and bridge the two bolts on the solenoid where the terminals are afixed , if the starter then turns you can be sure that the solenoid is faulty If the stater does not turn when bridging these two points then you can be sure that there is a fault in the starter motor Hope this is of help
no
could be a bad battery connection or dead battery i had the same problem with my jeep Did you check the starter motor itself without the solenoid? Quite possibly worn brushes and/or dirty/worn/shorting motor armature. could be the ignition switch, is the clicking coming from under the steering column?
If you're implying that it engages without you turning the key, the problem is one of the following: * a faulty wire somewhere, * the starter solenoid was connected wrong * or the solenoid return spring has broken.
