Assuming the battery is good and all battery cable connections are clean and tight, try moving the shift selector into neutral then turn the key to start or wiggle the shift lever in park as you turn the key to start. If it starts, check the neutral safety switch, it may be just out of adjustment. Note, if the two small wires attached to the new starter solenoid mounted on the inner fender are switched, it won't start. Note, also the new starter solenoid must be bolted down to metal and grounded to operate.

Why would your dash gauges on your Celebrity peg when you turn on your headlights?

When my Celebrity's starter was going out (1987, 2.5L) this would happen to me. Dropped in a brand new starter and solenoid and never happened again. Likely a short inside the solenoid I suppose.

Why won't my 97 Mitsubishi Mirage manual shift turn over It has a brand new battery and it sounds like I can hear a click but I'm not sure. Where's the starter and the solenoid?

The solenoid is an integral part of the starter in most modern vehicles. Also for most modern vehicles, the starter is near the bottom of the engine, and the drive end of the starter connects through the back of the casting into the flywheel. (the flywheel is between the engine and transmission) A clicking sound can indicate that the starter/solenoid is not getting enough current. This can be caused by a poor electrical connection between the battery and the solenoid. If the battery is new, it could possibly be that the connection to the battery was not tightened down properly. Check to see if the battery clamps are tight. Follow the thick cable from the battery to the starter, and check to see if the end connected to starter is tight. Check the negative connection from the battery to the engine block for tight connections. Try removing the battery clamps and cleaning the connections. Replace the clamps, tighten, and test again. I have a 1990 Mirage, and the starter/solenoid is on the rear of the engine below the intake manifold. The bolts for the starter are on the left side of the engine, and go through the transmission housing where it connects to the engine.

My 94 Bonneville won't start by key switch and i have a brand new starter?

If you can start it by jumping across the solenoid, you have a problem in the wiring or the switch itself. If you do not have a multitester, this could be a very difficult problem to diagnose. Take it to a mechanic.
