The wiring of the solenoid will depend on what purpose the solenoid serves and the brand. In basic terms, when power is turned onto the solenoid, the inner coil pulls the plunger. The unit needs power and a ground, with a switch or relay to trigger it.
More or less, YES
Only the 2.3L HSC Inline 4 will fit in the 1986 Mercury Topaz. If everything in the engine bay were gutted, perhaps something larger such as a 3.0L V6 from a 1992-1994 model MIGHT fit but it would require a complete running 92-94 Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz with the V6 engine as a donor car (and, if you could find such a car, it would be more worth your time/money to invest in it v.s. a 1986 model). The automatic transmission from a Taurus WILL NOT WORK in a Tempo/Topaz.
same order you take it off
Really going back in time. If it is the same as the '87, the module is on the firewall. Small box with a wire plug in. Sort of silver in color. Most times when this module is defective, the engine will cut out, and after a few minutes will restart. Ford should still have the part in stock. Just make sure the points are gapped properly and the rotor is in good shape.
I assume that you have a ford topaz/tempo. Blower fan not working. First check to see if there is power to the blower. Its behind the glove box. Just unplug the power input, and check for power, sometimes even with power, the blower just might have a bad ground,or be finished, be prepared to remove it, not a big job. Also check the switch at the on/off control.
To install the 1991 Ford Topaz neutral switch, just follow the instructions on the user manual.

More or less, YES
the solenoid itself is probably bad, if not that probably the ignition switch I agree 100%, check the solenoid first then the switch.
The solenoid is attached to the starter itself, which is between the engine and the firewall.
Torino, Topaz ( Mercury ), Tempo, Taurus, Thunderbird
I need to know which relay you are refering to? What does it operate?
Try looking in a Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz.
The shift interlock solenoid is located inside the console close to the shfiter.
What year? check the ignition module. see manual
