A solenoid switch is an electromechanical device that serves to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. It typically consists of a solenoid coil that, when energized, generates a magnetic field that moves a plunger or armature, closing or opening electrical contacts. This allows the switch to either connect or disconnect power to a load, such as a starter motor in vehicles. Solenoid switches are commonly used in automotive applications, industrial machinery, and various electronic devices for reliable and automated control.
The 1997 Nissan Maxima. Reverse solenoid switch is located on the starter. The solenoid switch is attached to the side of the starter.
the solenoid itself is probably bad, if not that probably the ignition switch I agree 100%, check the solenoid first then the switch.
The starter solenoid is on the starter. Transmission solenoid is in or on the transmission.
The 2001 Chevy Blazer vacuum switch solenoid can be found on the firewall in the engine compartment. The vacuum switch solenoid will be on the passenger side of the firewall.
The starter solenoid is on the starter.The starter solenoid is on the starter.
You have to be more specific to get the right answer
The wiring of the solenoid will depend on what purpose the solenoid serves and the brand. In basic terms, when power is turned onto the solenoid, the inner coil pulls the plunger. The unit needs power and a ground, with a switch or relay to trigger it.
Did you replace the ignition switch? Not the key tumbler but the actual ignition switch. If so, you have a wiring problem.
My '77 F250 also has two solenoids for the starter, one on the fender and the other on the starter. The one on the starter is the one you'd expect and has a mechanical function, it moves the starter gear to mesh with the ring gear on the flywheel to turn the engine over. The solendoid on the fender has an electrical function as a relay. A relay is basically a switch operated by another switch. In this case, the controlling switch is the ignition switch and the switch it operates is the solenoid. The current needed to operate the starter is so great that it would wear out your ignition switch plus require huge wires running from the battery to the dash so instead of switching this huge current, the ignition switch switches only the smaller current needed to operate the solenoid and the solenoid switches the huge current. When you turn the ignition switch on, it energizes the solenoid which closes the circuit that supplies current to the starter.
Starter solenoid?
BOTH.
