Most cars have it on the starter motor or on the fire wall near the battery. It controls the current to the starter and works only when you turn the key to the start position.
A solenoid is a type of magnetic switch responsible for helping your starter motor turn on the engine. When the solenoid sticks, the ignition struggles to start. When this happens, usually your key will "catch" in when you turn it to start the vehicle.
By energizing the post on your starter with one clamp and your battery's positive terminal with the other clamp, when you push the button, the starter will turn using an "old school" remote starter switch. You still need to energize the ignition system to cause vehicle to start and fuel to flow, defeat any interlocks or ignition disablers that may be in place from alarm systems before it will start.
If you mean the car will not start or even turn over when you turn the key, that 'clicking' is the starter solenoid making contact like it's supposed to. But there is not enough power from battery to start engine, only enough to make contacts in solenoid. Bad battery, or loose or corroded battery cable terminals
If you mean that the battery is OK but the starter does not turn replace the starter, they are known to have weak starter solenoids,inside the starter.
if it does not turn over and no clicking noise but headlights on, check start fuse and relay if it doesnt turn over and clicks probable starter solenoid
usually you can tell when your car doesnt turn or or doesnt turn over its because of your starter sometimes its not the starter it could be a low battery or corroded wires leading to the starter check that first;
Replace the starter
Either the starter, starter relay or ignition switch are failing.
Starter solenoid shot. Replace Starter.
you need to replace the starter motor
u need to replace the starter solenoid
turn ignition system and fuel system on then put in 2nd gear and push
Bad starter is easy: when you turn the car on provided your battery is good, you will hear a click in the engine compartment, but the car will not start.
you mean the starter just freely spins and does not turn the engine? replace starter if the engine turns but does not start its either a fuel, spark, or compression problem. read up on how to check that.
I would start with checking the electrical system. i.e. battery or starter
