Where is the solenoid wire on a 1996 dodge stratus 5 speed?

Answer 1

Dodges and Chryslers mayby Plymouths also use a thick brown wire from the statrer relay in the fuse box.

There should be two clicks by statring. Solenoid a louder and a relay a softer click. It is possible for the relay to click but its electical connection pole points might be corroded at the solenoid or the relay at the fuse box make sure that the brown wire from the relay to the starter solenoid is connected at the solenoid cleanly and tightly. If you always hear the loud click however, then you know the solenoid is getting the current from the relay and it is not applying the high current to the starter motor windings or the windings or brushes in the motor are bad, or the wire that brings the high current directly from the battery to the solenoid is loose at the solenoid. So when you find the starter make sure that the thick battery wire connection to the solenoid is clean and tight, and if it nonetheless clicks then there is indeed a problem internally with the solenoid switch or the motor proper. You can also bypass the solenoid and see if the starter cranks, to see if a problem at the solenoid.
