Where is Starter?
Starter motors vary in specific location on different models and makes of vehicles. There is, however, one constant. In every case, the starter connects thru a heavy cable either directly to the battery or to a starter solonoid in the engine compartment that is, itself, connected directly to the battery. Find the biggest (usually RED) B+ cable and follow it to the Starter. If it terminates on a starter solonoid, follow the cable on the other side of the solonoid to the starter.
What causes a starter solenoid to click but the starter doesn't turn?
It could be that there is a bad connection between the starter solenoid and the starter, or that the starter motor itself has failed. Check the wires first. They're cheaper to replace. This also happens when the battery is very low, so it may be worth charging the battery if you haven't already eliminated that possibility.
My car will not start but it makes a clicking noice when i try to start it. what is wrong?
If the starter is clicking, that's a good sign. Replace the battery and make sure you didn't have a drain on it. This problem could be caused by several things, but a weak battery or bad starter solenoid would be at the top of my list of things to check.

Are there two negative connections on a 1990 Bronco starter?
There shouldn't be. The negative battery cable should ground to the block or the frams. There are three connections on the starter if the solenoid is on the starter as it is on a Sable. The biggest connection is for the positive battery cable. The one directly underneath it is where the braided cable coming out of the starter is connected, and the spade connector is where the ignition switch wire slides on. The starter itself usually grounds by being mounted in place through the starter bolts. but some ground internally through the brushes. .
