Where is starter motor on a 1994/95 ford escort?

95 escort, automatic tranny
At the starter motor, two voltage circuits, one comes from the battery, hot all the time. The other voltage circuit goes hot with the key in the crank position and is wired through the neutral switch. The ground for the starter motor is through engine block, grounds are important.

It is located on the top of the starter and is part of the starter motor.

If you cant push start your vehicle, AND the starter is locked up, then you MOST LIKELY have a locked up motor. You will have to replace the motor. BUT, before you spend all that money, i would try putting a new starter on the car first. I sure hope this helps, James Booth

My guess would be silenoid or starter.
Good Luck !

hi if you follow the positive + lead from the battery it will lead you to the other end where it fastens to the starter motor solenoid starter motor is at the rear side of engine nearest bulkhead and is secured to the point where gearbox clutch housing secures to engine it is secured by three bolts 13 mm ? socket or spanner size or the old 1/2" AF size spanner ? b4 you attempt removal of starter ? you must disconnect earth lead from battery (ensure if your radio is coded ? you have the code to re instate ? ) out of curiosity ? what problem do you have with starter? may be able to help ??

never mind "A"join the club there keep taking the pills
take a screw driver and short out the battery wire to the small terminal on the starter this should spin the starter over and the engine at the same time if nothing happens the solenoid cap on the starter is faulty, you should here it click in to spin the motor up
if it clicks but still no go then its the starter motor its self likley to be brushes

replace starter motor as its worn out but before you do remove battery terminals and wire brush them and clean up the terminal clamps .smear terminals with vaseline and refit clamps tight if no better replace starter motor

Yes it is the starter motor, remove it and check, you probabley will have to replace the starter Bendix.

starter switch

this is a common problem because the ignition switc gets ;oose and in the process could have grounded under the steering column so just repair the wires to the starter motor and instal the new ign switch and you may end up replacing the starter motor also
