The starter solenoid receives a large electric current from the car battery and a small electric current from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned on, a small electric current is sent to the starter solenoid. This causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying a large electric current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion.
The starter celinoid is attached to the starter itself.
starting at the ignition switch going down the steering column. Next is an ignition switch. from there it goes to the selinoid. Inbetween the celinoid and the ignition switch, just above the celinoid is two fusable links.
Earlier Fords used an external solenoid, but most of today's vehicles have the solenoid connected to the starter. If the starter solenoid has failed (for most vehicles) just replace the starter.
were is athe fusbla link located on a 1992 Chevy s10 IT'S LOCATED JUST ABOVE THE STARTER AND CELINOID. THERE'S 2 OF THEM THERE.
change solenoid, common problem one thing or the other happens when solenoid goes bad can't start or you jump it because it stays on all the time....
