The starter solenoid is on the starter itself..
Loose, defective, or corroded cables, loose ground wire, starter, or starter solenoid.
If you're asking about the starter solenoid, you'll want to take the starter off the engine for more room. Remove the copper strap on the back and the two screws at the front and twist the solenoid to release it.
Disconnect the battery, locate the starter.. remove the mounting bolts, bring the starter down to where you can reach all of the wires going to the solenoid, and disconnect those.
Mounted to the top of the starter
How do you install a starter in a 1977 Chevrolet Caprice Classic with a 5.7 liter motor?
The starter solenoid, despite its name, is not part of a vehicle's ignition system. It is used to send electric current to the starter motor, engaging the engine.
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.

At The Battery Junction Block And At The Starter Solenoid
there is no relay for the starter. there is a solenoid (switch) and ignition switch. the solenoid is part of the starter (small cylindrical shape above starter housing. the solenoid has the battery and ignition connections). and the ignition switch is where the car-key goes. you need at least 8v from the ignition to the solenoid for the starter to operate. use a multimeter. otherwise check your starter - battery connections. otherwise replace the starter. otherwise, take off the starter and inspect inside the starter housing. if the starter is clicking but not turning the engine the starter teeth aren't engaging with the teeth on the flywheel. get a manual to the car here: http://www.germanautoparts.com/Books/Volkswagen
Starter solenoid is a part of the starter itself, the ignition relay can be found in the main electrical control panel under the hood.
