What is the difference between a starter motor and starter solenoid?

On my 1995 Ford Explorer , as far as I know , the starter solenoid is mounted on the starter and the starter relay ( which most people just refer to as the solenoid ) is mounted near my battery and has the positive battery cable connected to it ( a relay is a low voltage switch ) P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician


Would the ignition switch control the dash lights?

It sends a power to the starter relay/solenoid to engauge the starter. Know that the ignition switch is not what you put the key in and turn. That is the lock assembly. The ignition switch is located lower down on the steering column.

How do you disable the alarm completely from the starter of a 93 Suzuki Sidekick when sometimes it won't start because the alarm disables the starter?

Exactly how is going to depend on who installed the alarm. There would be a relay which (likely) breaks the starter cable. You'd need to locate this relay and reconnect the starter cable where the relay has been inserted. Not much help, I guess, but for what it's worth. If you know where the alarm module is you could try tracing the cables from it, or (easier) try tracing the starter cable from the switch until you find a break (tape, splices, whatever) then just remove the inserted cables and join (repair) the starter cable. If anyone has a wiring diagram that would give the colour of the cable, it would help.

You had a new motor put in a 1995 Tahoe Now it periodically won't start Replaced neutral switch on trans Can not be reproduced when mechanics look at it could it be starter related has new battery?

This question does not provide enough information to provide you with an adequate answer. What does/does not happen? Does it crank? Have you checked anything besides neutral switch? Do you know that the replacment neutral switch is working right? Don't assume that because something was replaced that it is now working properly. Use a meter to determine if current is getting to the starter relay. BTW, the starter relay on a Chev is on the starter. You will have to do a little investigation to find out what's wrong.


Your 98 Nissan Sentra won't crank without you playing with it How would you know if you need an ignition switch or the cylinder?

Could also be a battery issue, starter issue, starter solenoid, starter relay, neutral safety switch issue, even loose or dirty battery connections could cause that condition. You will have to do some detective work and use the process of elimination technique.
