Will a defective starter solenoid cause your check engine light to stay on?

No. Use a code scanner to find out why the check engine light is on. You can borrow, rent or buy a code scanner from most auto parts retailers.

What if the ignition switch starts the starter and the engine run but unfortunately starter continues running what is the cause of this?
Probably a stuck solenoid.
What would cause a Saturn SW1 starter to not crank when engine is hot but start normally when cold?
I would check the starter solenoid before I investigated the starter - it's likely the cause. Have someone try starting the car hot while you measure the voltage between the starter side of the solenoid and negative - you should get battery voltage. If not, the problem is the solenoid (or somewhere before it, electrically).
When you start your 1999 caravan you only get a single clicking sound the engine doesn't turn over. The battery is fine. What is the cause the starter?
check the solenoid, and the starter.
If my Chevrolet engine won't start and the starter doesn't turn over but the battery is good what could be the cause solenoid?
It is the selonoid unforutnately it is built into the starter......so you probably have to purchase a new starter....about 170.00
How do you get power to the starter?
The positive battery cable connects directly to the starter. Depending on what type of vehicle it is, the solenoid is either on the starter or on the inner fender. Power for the solenoid comes from the ignition switch. You can run a wire to the solenoid to cause the starter to engage.
What would cause a clicking noise only when lights are on and engine does not start?
Weak battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Starter solenoid?
What would cause a Mitsubishi space wagon engine not to start and not even turn over?
Dead battery, bad starter, or defective ignition switch.
What would make a '99 Chevy Suburban go click click click act like it has a dead battery when the key is in the ignition but NOT engaged and when the key is out of he ingiion it still does the click?
That clicking sound could be the sign of a weak, if not a totally discharged battery. Or, it could indicate a defective solenoid in the starter, or a defective bendix spring in the starter. If you are convinced that the battery is not the cause, I'd focus on the starter.
What could cause my Suzuki swift 1.3 sohc 95 to click but not turn over have fitted a new battery and recon starter and solenoid.?
Defective starter (brand new broke) Is in gear (try in neutral) Seized engine (can you turn it by hand? Does a new engine help?) Seized accessory (try removing belts) Hydraulic lock (fuid in cylinder, try removing spark plugs)
Why will my car start with remote starter but not with key?
There is an electrical problem between the starter switch and the starter solenoid. The most likely cause is a loose connection at the solenoid or the fusable link has melted.
How do you bypass a starter solenoid?
A starter solenoid can be bypassed by connecting a jumper wire between the battery and ignition posts on the starter. This will cause it to spin immediately without using the ignition switch.
What can cause your car not to start?
The battery might be dead, or your engine might not work. *EDIT* Check your ignition coil, or starter solenoid, instead of saying "your engine might not work". If you take a hammer and tap the starter when somebody else is cranking the vehicle then you need a new starter.
