To take out the starter of a 1990 dodge Colt, the first step you should take is to disconnect the negative battery cable so as to avoid shock or short circuiting. Most vehicles have a jack point at the front or where the car is lifted with a jack and then supported with jack stands. The starter is mounted and usually situated at the lower side of the engine close to where it joins the transmission and this is always the side of the driver.

After finding it, proceed to disconnect the electrical connections on the starter, the main battery cable as well as the ignition wire. Then, two bolts holding the starter onto the engine block will have to be removed with the help of a socket wrench. Once the bolts have been removed, carefully withdraw the starter, it may help to wiggle it a little to remove it, though if it is in firmly it may be difficult. Replace the new or rebuilt starter but backward, put back wiring, raise up the car and re-connect the battery. After this is done, test the car so as to confirm that the starter is working.
