A relay is in essence a switch with two positions, on and off. A solenoid, meanwhile, enables mechanical components to physically move and change position, for example, a starter motor engaging a flywheel.

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

How can you tell the difference between a bad starter motor or a bad starter solenoid on a 1996 maxima?
The solenoid is connected to the starter and for the backyard mechanic if one is bad they both are bad. When you purchace a new starter it will have a solenoid attached so dont worry. Getting your hands on just a solenoid for that vehicle might prove to be a chore. I'm having the same problem and wanted to ask the same question about a 92 Sable 3.8. I'm thinking that if you don't hear a click when you turn the key it may be that the solenoid/relay is bad. I checked my solenoid with a tester and it is getting juice so I still don't know for sure if it's the starter or the relay but I'm thinking more towards it being the relay because I don't hear any clicking sound that the relay usually makes... Can anyone expound on this and help me out??? I'd appreciate it... Thanks.
