If you can repair it, then go ahead. If not, replace it.
There are two posts on the starter solenoid when the starter is in position the top one is for the positive battery cable. The bottom one should have a very short cable that enters the starter casing. I just replaced the starter in my 98 mazda protege yesterday.
There should be 2 large terminals on your starter, with one already having a small cable running to the inside of the casing. The battery cable connects to the other (opposite) one.
I've had this happen on a number of vehicles over the years and its always been the Solenoid on the starter. They go bad and won't engage the actual starter like their suppose to. The Solenoid is the smaller cylinder shaped part on the outside of the starter with the wires going to it. If you need to start the car temperarily you use a hammer or a long bar and hammer to reach and hit the Solenoid casing while someone else turns the key on the vehicle. You can hit it pretty hard if you have to. Usually works.
THE LAST ANSWER IS CORRECT OR MORE TO THE QUESTION THERE IS NO GROUND WIRE ON A STARTERFollow the wire. One will go to ground, one to hot. Most starters are marked with a + (positive) and a - (negative) on the terminals themselves,just like your battery. Usually the larger terminal where the battery cable connects to the starter is the positive terminal. .On a most starters both posts are hot(+) and the casing is grounded(-) .Usually the bigger post is a direct wire from the battery and the smaller post is a remote wire from the starter switch.Follow the positive battery cable wire (+) to the other end, that should lead you there. Because it will be connected to the starter solenoid. Please take note, a solenoid mounted on a starter has no ground wire, but a solenoid separated from the starter and mounted on the firewall does.
The Chevy starter does not have a ground wire, the starter grounds through the starter casing.
The starter solenoid on a 1997 Ford F-150 4x4 truck is typically a cylindrical or rectangular metal component, often mounted on the inner fender well or near the starter motor itself. It usually has two large terminals for the battery and starter connections, along with one or more smaller terminals for the ignition switch wire. The solenoid is usually black or silver in color and may have a plastic cover or casing. Its size is about 3-4 inches long, depending on the specific model and engine configuration.
No, the starter casing acts as the ground.
If you are certain the battery has a good charge and the solenoid is good, then your last choice is to remove the starter for a bench test. Hold it firmly on the bench and apply 12 volts from a battery charger for a second or so. Hold negative on the casing and touch pos. to the main terminal.
Not really, the starter has an enclosed casing. Only if the spill is on the wiring and shorts it out.
you should have to pull up some of the casing around it and then u can unscrew the radio from there
Replace the rheostat under the passengers footwell. Should be two screws on a plastic casing pull it down and pop the rheostat out and replace.
There is no ground wire. The casing of the starter itself is considered the ground. Ex. If you take a battery and use jumper cables to touch the positive lead to the wire terminal on the starter, and then touch the negative terminal to the metal casing it will spin the motor.
