Oldsmobile STARTER MOTOR NOISE DIAGNOSIS?
------------These details will help.Thanks.

solenoid is on top the starter. starter is on the back of the engine, under the intake manifold and fuel injection system. you need a lift to get at it.

Bad ground will do that. Check battery terminal first, then the second place to check is grounds on the side of the motor where transmission bolts are. Then the starter itself can be corroded right where it lays against the motor, where it is bolted on. This can happen due to too much oil running down on it as well. Last of all the starter can be bad. It is best to have it diagnosised first before guessing at any repairs though.

open the hood. just to the left and below the battery you will see a bell shaped housing bolted to the engine. this is the bell housing which contains the flywheel and connects the engine to the transmission. the starter is on the back of the engine, bolted into the bell housing so its gear can mesh with the gear ring on the outside of the flywheel. that should give you enough info to find it. the starter was always fairly easy to replace on old V8s, however you will find the starter replacement on the S series saturn to be very difficult, especially if you do not have a lift. if you are bound and determined to do it yourself make sure you disconnect the negative battery cable first.

to the back of your engine is the old starter.. Unbolt it (remember where the bolts are.. 2 the side of it.. Remove wires and connect it to new one.. Bolt starter back up..

It's a tough one to get to, it is on the back of the engine, under the intake manifold. You'll need to feel around for the bolts. Don't forget to disconnect the battery first.

I agree with the mechanic, the most likely cause is the ignitions switch. The ignition switch has nothing to do with the starter.

It would be hard to guess but a simple diagnostic would be to use a 12v test light and see if the starter solenoid recieves a 12 v signal while turning the key. If it lights, the starter should turn over. This also gives you the oportunity to check and verify all electrical connections at the starter including the large orange fusible link wire at the large battery terminal.
