How do you remove calipers from a 1987 thunderbird? Like where do I start?
The starter solenoid is physically mounted on top of the starter motor itself.
Not fast enough
the starter is located on the passenger side of the engine underneath the exhaust header . you must jack the front right up remove the tire and get on the ground to reach it.
It is located on the blocked above the starter. You must remove the starter to see it.

To remove the starter you just disconect the starter cable & the push-on relay connector from the solenoid. Then unfasten the starter retaining bolts and remove the starter. To install the starter, put the bolts in the top and bottom figer-tight. Then (starting with the top most bolt & working down)tighten the bolts (to 15-20 ft. lbs.)
Is your starter and alternater OK?
