I have a bad solenoid on my 1996 GTX. Starter is occasionally not working when I hit the start stop button. I always get a click when you hit the start button, but no crank 90% of the time. Jumping the solenoid works 100% of the time.
So I went to replace it, but it looks like one bolt for the solenoid is under the ignition coil. I didn't see anything in the service manual about solenoid replacement, sorry if I missed it...
To replace the solenoid, do I have to remove the ignition coil? It seems like I can't reach the bolt without removing the ignition coil. I know the ignition coil is high voltage, do I have to be extra careful replacing it? Do I need to discharge it somehow?
Also, one of the bolts on the ignition coil has a lot of white corrosion on it. Is this OK? How should I clean it up, if so?
