1972 Mustang won't start after the starter solenoid has been changed it doesn't click when the ignition is turned what could be wrong with it?
Solenoid could be installed incorrectly. Could be electrical connection on the solenoid. Did you re-connect the battery? Could be a bad starter motor...or a stuck starter motor. Sometimes a light tap or two on the starter motor (not the solenoid) with a hammer will free it up.
Where is the solenoid wire on a 1996 dodge stratus 5 speed?
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.
What is wrong with a car when it wont start just make a grinding sound?
It can be a defective starter assembly that causes this problem. There are two parts to a starter assembly: the starter motor and the starter solenoid. The offending culprit is usually the starter solenoid, and it should be replaced.
Where is the starter switch on a 2001 Daewoo leganza?
the starter solenoid is incorporated with the starter. you'll find two wires going to the starter. one is the control wire which actuates the contactor (starter solenoid) for the high amp circuit that drives the starter motor. and then there is the switch in the steering column that is used with the key.
What else can I check for 1994 Nissan Sentra 1.6L Manual that only clicks when you turn the key Have checked battery and starter replaced ignition switch and fuses Still nothing Thanks?
One of two things can cause this clicking without a response from the starter, 1 the contacts inside the solenoid are burned or dirty and 2 the starter itself is faulty. The starter solenoid is mounted on the starter. I would assume that this is where the click is coming from there are two large terminals on this solenoid. One is the Battery power direct from the battery and the second is the output to the starter motor. The solenoid is basicaly and electromagnetic switch or relay that makes contact between that battery and the starter when you turn the key. Take a piece of heavy duty wire or a screwdriver and bridge the two bolts on the solenoid where the terminals are afixed , if the starter then turns you can be sure that the solenoid is faulty If the stater does not turn when bridging these two points then you can be sure that there is a fault in the starter motor Hope this is of help
Check for a low car battery?
Try starting the car. If it doesn't start, then you might have a low charge in your battery! Turn the headlights on and then try to start the car - if the lights dim and you can hear the starter motor solenoid "click" or the starter turns the engine slowly then your battery is more than likely at fault. -if the lights don't dim and you can't hear anything from the starter motor then it is likely to be a loose earth connection or a loose connection to the starter motor solenoid (the thin cable out of the two that connect to your starter motor) Simples.
Where is the starter solenoid on 91 Corvette?
on the starter. Chevy has always put the starter solenoid on the starter. It is the cylinder on top of the starter that is about two inches inb diameter with all the wirs connected to it.
How do you change a starter and solenoid on a 1989 Chevy Celebrity?
First disconnect the ground wire from the battery. Then detach the wires from the starter solenoid, taking note of where each wire was so they can be put back later. There may be a rear support bracket on the back of the starter, if yes remove it. Then remove the two bolts that hold the starter to the bottom of the block They are 15mm heads, you will need a socket and extension plus driver to remove them. Then the starter will slide towards the front of the motor and come out. As for removing the solenoid. Remove the screw that attaches a copper bus that comes out of the starter body to the solenoid. Then remove the two screws that hold the solenoid to the starter, twist the solenoid slightly and remove it from the starter. There will be a spring inside that will come off, retain it for reassembly if you need it. To put it all back together reverse the dis-assembly order.
What is the operating difference between relay and solenoid?
A relay is in essence a switch with two positions, on and off. A solenoid, meanwhile, enables mechanical components to physically move and change position, for example, a starter motor engaging a flywheel.

How do you remove a Starter for 1991 Chevy Caprice with a 5.0 motor?
Disconnect the battery. Unhook the wiring on the end of the solenoid. If there is a support bracket on the end of the starter, unhook it. If the exhaust is in the way, unhook that. Remove the two bolts that hold the starter to the back of the block.
Chevy 350 starter clicks?
Either a bad battery/starter terminal connection, or your solenoid is out. You can by pass the solenoid with a screw driver. Touching it to the main terminal in the center, and the inside small terminal, nearest the motor. Don't jump, cause there will be sparks. If you jump across the two, the starter should engage, turning the motor over. This would diagnose a bad solenoid. About $15, at you local parts store. The other aspect not to be overlooked is a ground wire. This wire is connected to the frame and the vehicles body or motor it may have corroded or broken off.
