There is no relay. The solonoid is on the starter.
Starter motors vary in specific location on different models and makes of vehicles. There is, however, one constant. In every case, the starter connects thru a heavy cable either directly to the battery or to a starter solonoid in the engine compartment that is, itself, connected directly to the battery. Find the biggest (usually RED) B+ cable and follow it to the Starter. If it terminates on a starter solonoid, follow the cable on the other side of the solonoid to the starter.
What solonoid?? If it is the starter solnoid, you have to take the starter off.
the starter is attached to the motor under the flywheel. look for the battery cable going from the solonoid to the motor and that will be the starter
Make sure the solonoid is bad first.. It is on top of the starter and the starter has to be removed to replace it.
The solonoid should be under the car by the starter. Just follow the positive battery wire down to the starter.
There is a solonoid on the starter and the ignition switch is on the steering column.
A weak battery. There is not enough voltage to hold the starter solonoid in.
you have left a small lead with a female connector off the starter motor solonoid
Check all wiring connections to starter Remove and bring to auto parts store for testing
most of the time just a clicking sound when trying to start a car means that the starter or solonoid is bad. try changing the solonoid first and then the starter. Hope this helps.
Most likely the ticking you are hearing is that from your solonoid. This is generally related with insufficient power from the battery.
