Why does the starting solenoid just click on a 1986 Ford Bronco V6 when you turn the key and it doesn't turn over the starter I have replaced the starter the starter relay and have a new battery.?

I would start by jumping the terminals on the starter solenoind,just use a wrench and touch it between the two large terminals on the solenoid. If the starter takes off and works I would guess that your problem may be in the ignition switch located on the steering column.
Sometimes even though the battery terminals look clean and the interior lights still light up, they can need cleaning. It is also possible that the wire into the terminal is not getting a good connection. This seems elementary, but it is the an easy solution and in my experience, this is most often the problem.

When starting car what if it just clicks?
That means the solenoid IS working, but power is too low to turn the starter. Check and if necessary clean or tighten the battery terminals. If still the same, charge your battery on slow for at least 12 hours, or get another battery.
Have a 1992 Dodge Ram 50 When you turn the key the lights on the dash come on but the starter does nothing you have had the Battery tested the starter tested you have replaced the ECM and Starter?
You should locate and test the solenoid. Most have three connections. There is a large cable from the battery to the solenoid, from the solenoid to the starter and from the start switch to the solenoid. The power terminals to the battery and the starter are large and have large cables. The starter switch connection is much smaller. Turning the key to 'start' provides a low current voltage to the solenoid causing the solenoid relay to close and power from the battery cable to connect through to the starter. If that voltage is present then the solenoid or the wiring between the solenoid and battery or solenoid and starter is suspect. If that voltage is missing then the starter switch or solenoid feed line may have failed.
1970 Chevrolet truck wont start replaced the starter?
Dead battery? Loose or dirty battery cables? Bad starter solenoid? Bad starter? Neutral switch?
1993 E350 and you have replaced the starter solenoid the starter and the battery and the starter will not disengage after starting What could cause this?
Most commonly, it's the starter or the starter was wired wrong when it was installed. More rarely, it can also be the keyswitch or even a bad gear on the flex-plate.
Can a starter solenoid drain a battery?
Yes, a starter solenoid can drain a battery. When a starter solenoid is not working properly it can actually keep rotating the starter after the car's ignition is turned off. Since it requires a battery to actuate the starter, the battery will eventually be drained of power.
Where is the solenoid located under the hood of a 1993 Chrysler Lebaron as it will not start we have replaced the battery and starter and could it need a new solenoid and where is that located?
may be on top of the starter and replaced with same. Follow the + battery cable it will connect to the solenoid
Why would a 94 lesabre have no power to the starter solenoid?
The wire from the battery to solenoid is corroded & should be replaced.

Why is 1994 Isuzu Rodeo starter clicking. The starter solenoid clicks then the starter motor engages. HAYNES quotes problem is battery or starter solenoid contacts or starter motor connections.Ideas?
either clean and tighten cable connections or get battery tested. if not the battery, it is the solenoid or the starter If it is clicking and not starting at first, but starts after a few tries, its your starter taking a dump. Replace it.

Chevy s-10 1998 starter solenoid where is it located?
The starter solenoid is attached to the starter. Follow the positive battery cable from the battery, it will lead you to the starter solenoid. The starter would have to be removed to replace the starter solenoid.

Your F150 will not start and will not take a jump the alternator solenoid and battery were replaced is it most likely the starter?

1997 explorer awd replaced starter motor and starter solenoid but you still get one click from the starter then nothing?
Double check the battery cables at the battery and at the engine, be sure they are clean and tight.

Where is the solenoid on 1993 chevy s-10?
The starter solenoid is mounted directly to the starter. Just follow the positive battery cable from the battery, it will lead you right to the starter solenoid.
