The starter solenoid is attached to and an integral part of the starter.

Probably a bad starter solenoid.
Have a 1992 Dodge Ram 50 When you turn the key the lights on the dash come on but the starter does nothing you have had the Battery tested the starter tested you have replaced the ECM and Starter?
You should locate and test the solenoid. Most have three connections. There is a large cable from the battery to the solenoid, from the solenoid to the starter and from the start switch to the solenoid. The power terminals to the battery and the starter are large and have large cables. The starter switch connection is much smaller. Turning the key to 'start' provides a low current voltage to the solenoid causing the solenoid relay to close and power from the battery cable to connect through to the starter. If that voltage is present then the solenoid or the wiring between the solenoid and battery or solenoid and starter is suspect. If that voltage is missing then the starter switch or solenoid feed line may have failed.
On your 1990 Nissan 4wd hardbody sometimes you have to hit the starter with a 2x4 for the truck to start. What is the problem?
Starter solenoid sticking. Replace the solenoid if it is external. If it is internal, then just replace thee starter. It will cost a little more but you will have a new starter and solenoid.
How can you tell the starter solenoid is bad?
Good power all the way to the starter, 12 volts at solenoid/start circuit wire when key engaged, but no click or starter engage
Why will a 91 Lincoln Town Car start with a screwdriver touching the solenoid but not with the key manually?
Not to bash on the last answer, but, the starter solenoid probably isn't at fault here. If it will start with the screwdriver then the starter solenoid is functioning. It either does or it doesnt. The answer lies in circuitry back from the solenoid to the ignition switch. You could have a bad ignition switch or neutral/safety switch.AnswerDefective starter solenoid.
My 2000 neon will only start if you jump the starter why is that?
The starter relay or solenoid is probably the problem.
How do you manually start the starter to make a car start?
Jump the wires on the starter solenoid - Jumper wire connected the large cable running to the starter and the smaller "trigger" wire The solenoid in most vehicles today is located ON the starter. If you attempt the aforementioned answer, BE CAREFUL.
Why would 98 Cherokee not start turn key everything comes on no crank can jump starter terminals and wil start cleaned neutral safety switch already?
your ignition switch or the starter solenoid is bad try jumping the solenoid instead of the starter, if this does not work, then change solenoid
Having to touch starter solenoid with screw driver to start?
usually this means that your solenoid needs to be changed
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.
What does a car starter motor solenoid do?
When opened by the starter switch, it sends electricity from the battery to the starter motor to start the car.
