Where is the starter located on a 1993 F-350 with a 460 motor?

It is closer to the passanger side of the truck and about a foot away from the oil pan. You should see a very large (6 gauge I think) wire running to it from the batter as well as one or two small wires. These smaller wires come from the starter solenoid. To remove the starter you need to disconnect the negative wire on the battery first. Then there are just three bolts and the two or three wires I mentioned before.

What causes a starter solenoid to click but the starter doesn't turn?

It could be that there is a bad connection between the starter solenoid and the starter, or that the starter motor itself has failed. Check the wires first. They're cheaper to replace. This also happens when the battery is very low, so it may be worth charging the battery if you haven't already eliminated that possibility.

if your talking about the one on or in the starter, you have a bad solinoid.

A starter uses a lot of juice and the wires could get very hot if the starter sticks


Where is the starter located on a 1994 Ford Explorer XLT and how do you replace it?

Answer:The starter motor on a 1993 - 1994 Ford Explorer XLT features a piggyback solenoid unit and it is located and accessible from underneath the vehicle on the driver's side. The starter relay is a separate unit. It is much smaller and located and mounted directly under the hood on the fender wall next to the battery.Replacing the starter motor:Unscrew the positive wires on the existing starter with a socket wrench. After unscrewing the negative terminal and those wires off the frame, remove the existing starter motor and solenoid by removing three bolts that hold it very securely to the frame underneath the vehicle. Hold onto the old unit to give to the part supply vendor as a core refund.Screw in the new unit and reattach the positive wires first, then the negative terminal wires.
