Want this question answered?
what kind of vehicle is it? Almost all starters have a built-in solenoid.
The starter solenoid shows to be on top of starter. If you don't know where the starter is located, follow the positive battery cable. You may have to get under vehicle to get at the starter. I replace starter and solenoid as a unit. Now, if your talking about starter relay that is a different animal.
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.
Your car has a starter solenoid instead of a relay. The solenoid is mounted on the starter.If you are having starting problems make sure that you have checked all battery and ground connections. If it proves bad,I would recommend replacing the starter and solenoid as an assembly on this vehicle to avoid additional problems. Good luck.
Disconnect battery. Then the electrical connection on the starter solenoid. Remove the starter bolts and the starter. Note the location of the spacer shims. Installation is the reverse. Don't forget the spacers shims or you will get noise when starting the vehicle.
A starter solenoid will be located on top of the starter assembly. A 1996 Toyota Tacoma starter assembly is located under the vehicle next to the passenger wheel.
The starter solenoid, despite its name, is not part of a vehicle's ignition system. It is used to send electric current to the starter motor, engaging the engine.
The starter solenoid on a 1986 Cadillac Coupe Deville is located under the front of the vehicle. It is to the left of the oil pan.
Check the starter and the solenoid. Make sure that the cables from the battery to the starter are tight and are sending voltage.
There are a bunch of "solenoids" on a typical vehicle, but, the most common usage of the term is in reference to the startersolenoid.Ford starter solenoids have been integrated into the starter unit for a good number of years, including those on the Windstar.So to replace the starter solenoid is to replace the starter.See "Related Questions" below for more about doing just that...After thinking about this a bit it has to be on the starter, which is on the lower left side of the engine. I was trying to confuse this with the starter relay which Ford has long mounted up on the fender and makes things easy to locate starting problems.The solenoid is located inside the starter.
Right side of vehicle under the oil filter for 4.0 engines. It is located on the starter. The solenoid is another smaller cylindrical shaped device that is mounted to the starter. If you have to replace it you have to buy the whole starter assembly that comes with a solenoid. I have not found a way to replace only the solenoid. Jeep engineered this to benefit their dealer service garages.
first test battery to make sure it has a full charge check all fuses, there is one fuse will stop vehicle from turning over using ignition key, try to start vehicleif lights on dash dim u know ignition switch is good with vehicle in neutral,and wheels chocked,use a screw driver to cross the poles on the solenoid this solenoid will be located on passenger side fender under the hood if solenoid is good you will hear it clicking,and should turn starter over if starter is good if starter didnt work get under vehicle and use screwdriver to short poles on starter if solenoid on fender is bad and starter is good starter will work if starter is bad starter will not work then remove starter from vehicle have it bench tested and most likely throw in a new starter
