It's on the passenger side of the vehicle, behind the battery, on the side wall. It's real easy to get to and change.

It is on the starter!
All of the late-model Ford Rangers have a starter with a solenoid, and the older models have a remote starter solenoid. Both are covered. The remote starter solenoid is located on the passenger-side fenderwell. This means that a small-sized starter can fit in tighter locations. It also allows for a cheaper repair if just the solenoid goes bad.
On my 1995 Ford Explorer , as far as I know , the starter solenoid is mounted on the starter and the starter relay ( which most people just refer to as the solenoid ) is mounted near my battery and has the positive battery cable connected to it ( a relay is a low voltage switch ) P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician
The starter solenoid is located (in a 1989 mercury grand marquis), as you raise the hood, on the left hand side of the engine compartment. Just behind the battery. (you should be standing right in front of the passenger side headlight.)
The Amperage draw is so high it locks the starter solenoid. This can be because of a bad starter bushing, low voltage in the battery, timing, etc. It is a major engineering defect in the design. All Fords prior to 1992 have this flaw. It can result in a fire, dead battery, etc. The good news is Ford redesigned their starters in 1992. The new starters will fit the old engines and Ford sells a retrofit kit to rewire the Solenoid for the new starter. The way it corrects the problem is the old solenoid becomes a starter relay, with the output wire now going to a solenoid mounted on the new starter. (This gives you less of a voltage drop at the new solenoid vs the old solenoid, that solves the problem in most cases) You need to buy the kit from Ford (Under $20.00) but you can buy the starter anywhere. Just give them your vehicle information as if you owned a 1993 Ford when buying the starter. You can also get a rebuilt starter from Ford. You could make your own kit, but the Ford Kit is everything you need and comes with instructions (priceless). Warprunner
You may have a loose or corroded ground connection. Not just the battery ground but the engine to chassis ground. You may also have a bad battery cable. If you see swelling on any part of the cable, replace it. Make sure the connections are clean and tight. Did you replace the starter solenoid with the starter, or is it a separate item? If the solenoid is separate from the starter, it is probably bad. It is unlikely that the ignition switch is bad, but possible.
The starter solenoid is mounted directly to the starter.
you need to replace the starter solenoid usually on a ford the solenoid is located on the side of the engine bay
It is located on the passenger side fender firewall behind the battery.
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 solenoid on that year ford starter is on top of the starter itself. that starter is used on a wide variety of ford products.
On the starter.
It's on the starter.
It is mounted to the starter.
Yes ( Motorcraft SW1951C )
Follow the + battery cable should connect to the starter solenoid (relay) either at the top of starter or at the inner fender perhaps under battery
the starter is located on the right side of the engine.
Starter solenoid? Follow the + battery cable will connect to starter solenoid One large cable from battery One large cable to starter One small "trigger" wire located in middle of other 2 cables Usually mounted to the inner fender
