Where is the starter solenoid on a 1999 Dodge Dakota?

Right side of vehicle under the oil filter for 4.0 engines. It is located on the starter. The solenoid is another smaller cylindrical shaped device that is mounted to the starter. If you have to replace it you have to buy the whole starter assembly that comes with a solenoid. I have not found a way to replace only the solenoid. Jeep engineered this to benefit their dealer service garages.


Starter wont disengage when you start 93 ford ranger.changed 2 starters and solenoid.where to go from here?

I'd check two things: I don't remember what year Ford changed over, but if yours still has the starter solenoid on the fender, make sure you haven't crossed the small wires. If the solenoid is on the starter, are you certain that you've wired the starter right? There are a couple small wires that connect to the starter,if you connect them wrong it could the cause problems you describe. If you're CERTAIN that the starter and/or solenoid are connected properly, start looking seriously at the ignition switch.

What is the proper placement of the wires on the starter solenoid of a 1983 Ford Thunderbird?

Looking at the solenoid from the front, and working towards the left, the right terminal will have one wire that goes down to the starter. The little push-on wire (usually red) will be the one that goes next. There may be another little push on, or a couple of wires with terminals- they all get attached to the next small terminal. The last terminal on the left of the solenoid is where the battery wire, and any other accessory wires go.

It sounds like the solenoid is working but the starter is not. Check the wires on the starter. Possibly the starter has gone bad.

The large one from the positive side of the battery attaches to the large post mounted on the starter solenoid and a smaller purple wire that attaches to the small post on the starter solenoid marked "S". The small post on the starter solenoid marked "R" is not used with that vehicle. Any accessory power wires would also attach to the large post on the starter solenoid.

First thing before you begin is to remove the Negative cable on the battery, this will keep you from shorting out on the starter wires. Try to look at the solenoid on the starter and mark the wires with tape so you know which wire goes on which terminal. I usually take off the big wire first at the starter then take off the small wires.
