Starters and Ignition Systems
Ignition systems are found in all complex engines. They are attached to a power source that provides both the power to the system and to the starters in order to turn on the engine.

Locks have what are called tumblers. Your ignition key turns the lock within the tumbler assembly. The tumblers fall into the groves on the key allowing it to turn. Insert the wrong key and the tumblers are not aligned properly and the key will not turn.
A tumbler is a flat-bottomed glass with no handle, foot, or stem.
Why do you have to tap your starter to get your car to start?
Bad starter solenoid.
Bad brushes more likely (worn out)
How come your F150 will not start it only clicks when you turn the key?
Caution! Disconnect battery cables before making any repairs. A short circuit can cause serious burns, fire and/or explosion.Many parts stores will help with tests. 1. Test the battery to make sure it is not discharged or worn out.
2. Check the condition of battery cables and connections. Clean or replace as needed. Don't over tighten side post connections. This can strip the threads, break seals.
Quick check: headlights should not go out when you turn the key to start. 3. Check the solenoid on the starter. If it is not on the starter follow the positive cable from the battery to the other end this end is connected to the solenoid. Sometimes it is on the side wall. Make sure all connections are clean and tight.
4. If all the above check out good the starter motor may be bad. Many parts stores will test it free if you remove it and take it in.
Where is the starter solenoid on olds 98?
It is attached to the starter, which is under the car. Look for the rear of the starter sticking out on the driver's side of the car. Remove the housing cover (3 bolts), and then the 2 bolts hold in the starter to remove it and gain access to the solenoid.

Where is the TCC solenoid on a 1996 Ford Taurus - Mercury Sable?
The TCC Solenoid is located on the valve body. In order to reach the unit you have to remove the Battery and Battery housing, Air Filter housing & Assembly, And the wiring harness brackets. You then have to support the rear of the engine and remove the Crossmember located behind the drivers side front wheel. There are 5 bolts and 1 mounting bolt. The TCC is secured by 2 bolts directly to the valve body. It is hard but this can be changed with the transaxle still in the vehicle.

Where is the starter solenoid located on a Chevrolet S10 pickup truck?
Hello,
I found the info you want but it is impossible for me to explain because I am learning about these trucks myself.
I bought a 1984 B2000 workshop manual from Mazda for around $17.00 and it has full instruction for everything for your truck including a full teardown.
The information you want on Chapter 5: page 10 It has full pictures and exploded view of starting motor and solenoid.
I wish I could be more of a help because I DO know the frustration. I am going through it myself with a part that I can't find what it does. I even put up a site to ask for help.

Good luck on your B2000 because if you can keep it running, it's a great little truck.

Why does water suddenly stop running then start again after a couple minutes?
If you get a clunky knocking noise from the pipes of your water system it is air-lock, like an air bubble in the pipes. The only way to get rid of it is to let the water run or if you have bleed-points bleed it (put an old towel down first) It is common for this to happen if you have turned the water off or drained the system for maintainance.
Where is the starter on a Nissan 300zx?
The starter is located just under the intake manifold. If you are standing on the side of the car with the battery you should be able to see it. It's not very difficult to replace. Make sure you disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid shock. There is one wire, that pulls apart, and two nuts on the starter that must be removed, the solenoid electrical connector and the starter terminal connection cable. Then there are two mounting bolts, one is on top of the unit and the other is on the bottom at a diagonal from the top bolt. Both bolts can be reached from above.
How do you install starter on 1995 Chevrolet s-10 pickup truck?
I hate Dodges!! I dodge them every chance I get! LOL!! Now really.. Disconnect the negative (or positive) battery cable. You don't want to short anything out. Take the wires loose from the starter (there are small nuts that hold the wires on) and then the support bolts. It's really a pretty simple matter. Just make sure you have something soft to lay on while you are under there.
How do you replace the key ignition switch on a 1987 Ford Thunderbird?
It is in the steering column, right behind the lock cylinder. (where you put the key in to start) You have to take the molding off of the lower column. Loosen four bolts to drop the clomn down. Romove lock cylinder. Undo wiring harness to ignition switch. Remove the two screws mounting swith and replace. The switch should come pre set to on position. Wich the lock cylinder has to be lined up to in order to remove it. Note: the two screws that hold the ignition switch may look like rivets, but they are threaded. Take a pair of needle nose vice grips to remove them. The new switch should come with a pair of hex countersunk screws. This will make it esier to replace again if ncessary. Good luck.

Where is a starter on 97 Plymouth Breeze located?
It'll be at the front of the car on the left ot right side. Open the hood and look close to the front of the fender for a black box that is about the size of 2 CD cases put side by side. The battery will be under that cover and have a big black and red wire going to it. Most autoparts stores will show you where it is and load test it for free.
How do you remove and replace ignition actuator on a 95 mustang?
Contrary to the repair manual; you do not need to remove the steering wheel. Remove the bottom dash panel below the steering wheel and then the bottom black steering wheel cover (3 screws). You will see a 1/8 inch hole and pin below the lock set. Put the key lock in the neutral position and push the pin and remove the ignition lock set. Put the new lock set in the neutral position and insert it. Turn it to the off position which resets the lock pin.
Starter keep on turning after the motor is runing?
Sounds like the starter solenoid is stuck. Another possibility is the ignition key switch is not automatically returning from the start to run position. As the switches get older they seem to get stiff. Could be a weak spring in the switch or just gummed up lubricant. The easy test is to try turning the key counter clockwise after starting the engine and see if the starter motor stops running.
Why won't a 1990 Toyota Corolla key turn?
It could be the wrong key...not inserted completely (or inserted to far if the lock is damaged)...the steering wheel lock could be exterting extra pressure on the lock (try moving the steering wheel a bit to see if that helps)
How do you bypass ignition lock in 1995 Isuzu Trooper?
Hopefully I am not helping you steal a trooper. It is fairly simple to bypass your key. You will need to remove your center cover from the steering wheel (pry's off of mine). You will see a wire in there with a disconnect plug, disconnect that. Remove the upper and lower covers on the steering column. If you have airbags, ensure you disable them. (Disconnect negative battery terminal and wait 30 minutes). Remove the two screws adjacent to the hole for the key. Remove the bolt for the steering wheel. (Make sure you mark the steering shaft and steering wheel so they go back on the same way). Wiggle the steering wheel off or use a steering wheel removal tool. Remove the pin holding the cable on the right side of the steering wheel, then remove the three bolts holding the assembly to the column. Last thing to do is remove the snap ring holding the lock cyl. assembly to the column. Slide it off. You can use a flat head screwdriver to start the vehicle. You will be able to start it without a key and put it into drive, reverse, etc. Hope this helps. I did it on mine tonight (lost my only key, awaiting new set) and it took me about 30 minutes.

How do you change a starter on a 1993 Buick century V6?
replacing the starter is relatively simple, what do is remove the wires from the starter solenoid which is located on top of the starter motor, and mark where the wires came from, there is a small terminal then there is a bigger terminal. oh and un hook the battery before that because it's an unpleastant surprise. then using a jack support the starter before the bolts are removed, then remove the bolts, which in most cases are 15mm, then lower the jack with the starter and put the new one one the jack. raise the jack and hook everything back up. get the starter secured and hook the wires up then the battery and turn it over. jeremy aka ccz5105
