Depending on the vehichle, you may only have one wire going to the starter, which would be the positive wire from the battery. In addition to this wire, many vehicles have a wire or pair of wires going to the solenoid housing on the starter. The positive wire is a very thick, heavy wire, which usually will have a loop terminal at the end, which fits over a post on the starter, which has a nut that threads down to secure the positive wire.

Often wire lengths will give you a hint as to where they should be connected, and wires frequently are bent to fit the connections. Be careful if you are guessing on where the solenoid wires connect, because a mistake could fry the solenoid.

In AdditionMany vehicles may have an additional, fairly heavy wire that runs to the same post as the battery. This wire makes its way to the alternator and is the location of the charging system fuseable link.

Starter wont disengage when you start 93 ford ranger.changed 2 starters and solenoid.where to go from here?

I'd check two things: I don't remember what year Ford changed over, but if yours still has the starter solenoid on the fender, make sure you haven't crossed the small wires. If the solenoid is on the starter, are you certain that you've wired the starter right? There are a couple small wires that connect to the starter,if you connect them wrong it could the cause problems you describe. If you're CERTAIN that the starter and/or solenoid are connected properly, start looking seriously at the ignition switch.


Why does the third starter still only click on starting a 92 Saturn SC?

The reason it's clicking is because your battery is dead. Replace the battery and you're good to go. It just isn't providing enough juice to turn the starter over correctly.

How do you remove a starter from a 02 impala?

I am currently having the same issue. First unhook the battery completely. Then you need to find where the wires on the starter are connected to the battery. Detach the wires from the starter that go to the battery. Once you have the starter wires completely detached from battery you can start removal of starter from engine block.

How do you remove a starter from Hyundai sonata?

Look to the front left of the engine where the transmission mounts to it, you will see the starter there and it has several large wires bolted to it. Remove those wires ( after you have disconnected the battery ) and then remove the two bolts holding the starter on, replace with the new one and reconnect the wires, then reconnect the battery and off you go.


How do you replace the starter on a 2001 Chevrolet S10?

you disconnect neg. side of battrey and then raise the truck and some times over the th rt front over the tire you can get to the wires to disconnect if not go under car and look at starter should be able to acess the wires only 2 of them then take the 2 mounting bolts for starter, remove them and then sneak the starter out it will be alittle tight to do so take your time. there might be a shim between starter and engine if so must use it with new starter unless the new starter may say no shim needed, would be printed on the head of starter. if no shim install with no shim. when installing and you connecting wires be sure that wires are not! touching together if not sure when you go to connect battery it will spark badleyand starter will engauge at that point leave battery disconneted double check wires at starter.

Un-Hook battery- Unhook wires off old starter. (should be 3 wires ) some are 4 If unable to access wires take starter off first and then take off wires, Unbolt starter- will slide forward towards front of vechicle- and replace new starter everything vise-versa-- Don't worry because their is No way to put it in wrong because it will only GO in (1) way.. Note: U may want to mark your wires- so that you know where to place them when you put the new starter in.
