Help!!! Click click when i turn the key, Where is the starter Solenoid Options

[siuformula]

When i try to start my '94 ceilca i just get a click every time i try. I think this is the solenoid. or the relay. I'm just not sure where either of these are located in the engine bay. If someone could kindly post a pic or a good description I would appreciate it very much

Thanks

im going to say your solenoid contacts.. theres a lil plunger that comes down on 2 half circle metal pieces, over time the pieces start to break.. if you hit the key and get one click and nothing else then thats most likely the plunger coming down and hitting but not making a good enough contact to turn over the engine, keey turning the key and eventually it will. less than $10 in parts for a new plunger and contacts, and the whole job should be able to be completed in about an hour. all of this is located on the back side of the engine, as matt said, you just stand on the passenger side and look down between your intake and the block on the back of the engine where it meets the trans and you should see it.. flex joints and extensions make the job alot easier

but as gary said, take advantage of the free diagnosis that some stores offer, but thats my diagnosis

OMG! i thought i was the only one with this problem!! one day as i was driving home from work, pitch dark outside, when i would hit my turn signal all my lights would dim on each blink. It was cold so i figured that was all. when i got on the freeway going about 70, hit the turn signal and BOOM! the engine completly shut OFF! i quickly pulled in the emergency lane, and once i stopped, it automaticaly started back up, strange. ever since then i have the EXACT same problem!! i replaced the battery thinking that was it...works FLAWLESSLY! for about a week, then same problem!! for a while i was thinking solenoid/starter, but i believe what it is is battery TERMINALS/WIRES i think the wires need replacing, which i belive someone said theirs was cracked and needed replacing so try that...i will as soon as i get back to my car... hope my scary story helped
