Disconnect the negative battery cable. Disconnect the positive battery cable (if you have an anti-theft audio system, make sure you have the code).
Drain the cooling system. Remove the intake manifold ( not a real easy task).
Disconnect the starter cable from the B terminal on the solenoid. Disconnect the BLK/WHT wire from the S terminal.
Remove the harness clamp. Remove the harness holder.
Remove the starter retaining bolts. Remove the starter from the vehicle.
Hope this helps you find it.

The starter is on the right side in the front of the engine at the top. Easily seen from opening the hood

the cover is removed straight down, slowly working it with a thin tool or butter knife. WD40 to front and rear edge (there's nothing medial or lateral). The cover has 2 Y clips on each side, one about half way, and one that clips straight off of the hinge post. There are no "tabs". It will eventually unclip straight down. Then can replace with a DE3175 LED bulb (V-LEDs.com)

Try 'jiggling' the key while you hold it in the start position' this could be a failed ignition switch.
It could also be that the + terminal on the starter or starter solenoid may be corroded.
Since the battery was just replaced, those terminals are probably clean enough but check the negative cable where it attaches to the chassis or block. If the connection is flaky here, enough current can often pass to allow lower current devices to operate but drop too much voltage if the starter is trying to operate.
Starters require 100-200 amperes, many times higher than anything else in our vehicles and show up cruddy connections pretty quick.

I agree with Amy Gwynn. It is located under the intake manifold and it's not that simple to change it or even access it. I don't have over large hands but I can barely even touch to electrical contacts on top of the starter.
