How do you change a selonoid on a 95 Jeep Wrangler?

Answer 1

You might need to remove exhaust pipes, a frame crossmember, and sometimes unbolt and slightly lift the engine to access the starter motor! Check first to see if you have the Ford Solenoid near the battery, then check to see if you can get the starter out easily. Then proceed.

# Disconnect battery

# Mark wires and terminals on starter motor and solenoid for reconnecting. # Remove 1 bolt from the top front, and one from the lower rear of starter to detach starter # Remove cable connecting solenoid and starter # Remove the two screws from the solenoid # Twist clockwise and pull to completely remove solenoid # Reverse above procedure to put it all back

If you happen to have the Ford/Motorcraft solenoid (rare, but possible), then the above can be skipped, it is on the fender well next to the battery. In that case, disconnect battery, mark wires/terminals for reconnecting, unbolt solenoid and cables, replace.
