First, check the ground to the starter and confirm that you have power to the starter. If you do, the starter should work fine. Second, you can always remove the starter and check if the gear can spin and the spindle depresses at all. If not, replace the starter.
You have a starter/ignition switch mounted in the steering column and you have a starter solenoid switch that is mounted to the starter.
You have to remove the steering intermediate shaft and remove the starter from the top.
try next to the steering wheel!
on top of your steering collum.
There is a solonoid on the starter and the ignition switch is on the steering column.
the starter solenoid is incorporated with the starter. you'll find two wires going to the starter. one is the control wire which actuates the contactor (starter solenoid) for the high amp circuit that drives the starter motor. and then there is the switch in the steering column that is used with the key.
To disconnect a remote starter you will have to remove the dashboard panel around the car's steering column. Look for the remote starter. Disconnect the wire at the starter that goes to the positive battery terminal. Put the dashboard panel back on.
For 4 Cyl.: Start by disconnecting the neg. battery cable from battery. Then remove the heat shield clamp and shield (if equipped). If OHC model, then the air pump tube needs to be loosened at the exhaust manifold and the bracket swivelled clear of the starter as well as removing the exhaust pipe bracket from the tranny bellhousing. Disconnect the battery cable from the starter and the solenoid wire from the starter solenoid. Now remove the bolts attaching the starter to the bellhousing or block. Finally, remove the starter. Note: some OHC models have a shim between the starter and the block, don't lose it and don't forget to reinstall it when starter is replaced. Starter installation is the reverse of removal. For V6/V8: Start by disconnecting the neg. battery cable from the battery. Then undo the steering shaft coupling from the steering gear (mark the relationship of the steering shaft to the steering gear input shaft and unbolt or remove the rollpin from the coupling) and move it out of the way. Remove the starter mounting bolts. Finally, remove the starter by moving it forward and lifting up and out. Starter installation is the reverse of removal.
