It is located at the top of the engine right under the intake manifold!!!
On top of the starter.(usually)
i connect all the wires the way i took them off the old selenoid and the starter selenoid and wires keep gettin hot and has burnt out the selenoid,replaced starter had the truck running fine shut it off and went to start it and the selenoid melted
connected to the starter
It is part of the starter. It has a clip for the starter wire labeled s.
Sounds like starter selenoid or the starter cable going to the stsrter needs to be taken off and cleaned and the inner nut on the selenoid may not be torqued properly.
1. bad starter selenoid 2. blown fuse in the circuit 3. bad ground at the starter (not likely, but possible) Start at the starter, with a test light, and work your way back through the curcuit until you find power. That's where the problem will be. If the starter has no power move to the selenoid. If the selenoid had no power in the switch circuit move to the fuse. If the selenoid has no power on the battery side move to the fusable link. Keep working your way to the ignition switch.
Starter selenoid no good
More detail would help a lot. Multiple fast clicks when you turn the key is the selenoid closing and opening quickly. This is often caused by low starting power (low battery or bad cables) or a failing selenoid. Low battery is the most common problem because when the starter tried to draw current to turn the motor, the selenoid loses power. The selenoid opens and the starter stops taking power so the selenoid closes again until the starter draws power (and repeat). A single click every time you turn the key is normal. That is the sound of the selenoid under the hood sending power to the starter. The starter should start turning immediately. If you get a single click and no starter then I would examine the wiring to the starter and the starter itself. In First Gen Explorers (91-94) the selenoid is round (like a very short pop can) and has three electrical connections. Two are battery-cable-sized wires and one is smaller and usually enclosed in a rubber boot at the very bottom. The large cables carry power from the battery to the starter and the small wire is from the ignition switch (key switch). The selenoid is mounted on the side of the engine compartment, close to the battery.
The selenoid inside is stuck, get a new one, they aren't too expensive.
Sounds like a selenoid problem.
Hi You cant replace the selenoid you have to buy a new starter. No one sells selenoids for these starters.
First you check to see if the selenoid is working by turning the ignition key and listen for a click on the selenoid if you hear a click the selenoid is probably working. Then you take a test light and put it on one side of the large wire which should have power if you turn the key on. If you have no power on either side your trouble is before the selenoid. If you have power on one side but not the other when you hear the click of the selenoid, when you turn the key on, your selenoid is not working.
