What causes the starter not to engage when the key is turned on in a 1992 Lincoln?
If there is complete silence when the key is turned, try tapping the solenoid on the starter with a hammer. Don't laugh. I have found this to be the solution in several cases. This is sure proof that the starter solenoid is the problem. You will want to install a new starter which comes with a new solenoid before you get stranded.
What else can I help you with?
Two functions of a solenoid fitted to a pre engaged starter motor?
1. To engage the starter with the ring-gear on the engine before the starter is turned on. IE to "pre-engage" it. 2. To turn the starter on once it is Engaged. This prevents/reduces damage to the gear-teeth on both the starter and the ring gear.
What does an automobile starter do?
Besides the smart alec answer "start an automobile", a starter has a small gear, that will both extend as well as rotate when the key is turned. This gear will engage teeth on the flywheel/flexplate, which is bolted to the rear of the crankshaft. As the starter turns, the engine will be turned.

Make sure the starter is getting voltage. If it is, perhaps the starter is bad. If it isn't, maybe your ignition switch is shot.
How do you know ignition relay faulty?
If you mean the relay that controls the starter motor then it is fairly simple. There are 2 possible faults. 1) The relay is working, but is broken or burned out internally. You will hear a click from the engine bay when the key is turned but the starter motor will not do anything, not even engage. 2) The relay is broken. In this case nothing at all will happen when the key is turned.
How do you trip the starter solenoid on a 1994 Geo Tracker Once the car has been driven for a while then turned off the starter will not do anything Turn the key and nothing?
If the starter will not engage on a 1994 Geo Tracker, it is possible that the solenoid needs to be replaced. There could also be a loose wire on the starter solenoid. Also check that the battery is fully charged. The battery could have gone dead while it was being driven.

What is celinoid?
The starter solenoid receives a large electric current from the car battery and a small electric current from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned on, a small electric current is sent to the starter solenoid. This causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying a large electric current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion.
Why won't my 1998 town car starter engage when the key is turned The battery is fine?
IS THE VEHICLE IN PARK? IS YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE? Then it might be the neutral safety switch located on the side of the transmission. It's a fairly inexpensive part/repair.
I have replaced the starter on my 1991 S10 but it still won't start could it be a problem with the crank sensor?
Then why did you replace a perfectly good starter? ALWAYS test old parts and know what you're doing BEFORE you start throwing new parts at a problem. Find out WHY it isn't starting. Does the starter engage and turn the engine? IF it does, then the starter is probably fine. If not, check the starter, battery, electrical connections, ignition switch and neutral safety switch. If the starter has ALWAYS engaged and turned the engine, you should not have changed the starter in the first place; instead, you should be finding out what's wrong.
WHY 110 cc ATV made in china Daymak model. starter won't engage-turn over-fully charged battery-clicking solenoid. is it the starter or solenoid- how do i figure if solenoid is bad?
You get a 12volt test light and put the clamp end on the frame where there is no paint Then you put the needle end on the bigger bolt .With the key turned on one side of the solenoid should have power. Then put the tester on the other side and push button to engage the starter it should light the tester lite if it does not lite up then your solenoid is probably bad.
