95 Oldsmobile 98 starter relay location. I cannot find the starter relay for my 95 Oldsmobile 98. When I turn the key I get one hard click and then nothing. It's a new starter, new battery.

cars are not all the same
no VIN told no country told no engine told no build date told
sorry the dealer would ask the same so they do not lie to you or sell the wrong parts or the books.
the above is just one answer of many
this car.
got pass-key, immo , lamp on dash not happy
both keys fail>? immo
as you see here IMMO kills the starter dead.
clear as day.(key bad)gen 12 , 94 (91-96)
engines then

Engines: USA sold if was.

• 1991-1996 3.8 L (231 cu in) V6 L36 GM.
• 1992-1995 3.8 L (231 cu in) supercharged V6

MY guess is L36 ,non supercharged, engine

best I can do, manuals are not easy to find. this year
most cars year 2000 and older manuals not digital
try reading here? pay $20 and read?

Really need more info but I would try with key switch turned in start position tap on starter if it turns over need starter but yes relay is under the hood close to brake master cylinder in relay Center

no diagram ,sorry , but usually located in the fuse/relay box in the engine compartment and the cover will have list of which is which

solenoid on your starter is sticking .hit is with a spanner .as someone turns over the engine .if it starts change the starter.

The security system does not disable the starter, it only disables fuel to the engine. In the fuse block under the hood, locate the STARTER relay. Place your hand on this relay and see if it clicks while someone else turns the key to start...if the relay is ok then the starter itself is faulty. Good luck, i hope this helps.

Well, for starters, your problem got posted under 1985 Oldsmobile 98 - then you said it was a 95 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Elite (HUGE difference between 85 and 95)...then it would be REALLY nice to know which engine we are talking about.

I'll just go with what you said last: 1995 Oldsmobile Regency Elite (Two engine possibilities)

If you have the 3.8L Supercharged engine (VIN CODE "1") it is on the left side of the engine near the oil filter.

If you have the non-supercharged 3.8L (VIN CODE "K") there are TWO of them. One is near the oil filter and the other one is in about the same location on the other side of the engine block.

Please also note that MOST fault codes for knock sensors are not caused by the knock sensors themselves. (they do fail, but it is very rare.) Usually there is either a wiring problem to the knock sensor, or the engine has internal problems causing a "knocking" or "ticking" noise which causes the engine computer to "think" that there is a problem with pre-detonation causing an "ignition ping". The code sets when the computer has retarded the ignition timing as far as it can and the "knock" or "ping" does not go away....usually it doesn't go away because it is not caused by ignition timing. The knock sensor is just doing its job and reporting the knock. It does not know the difference between a knock caused by ignition and a knock caused by internal engine problems.

The starter relay is located in the PDC (power distribution center) located under the hood with a removable lid (black box). Exactly how old is the battery and what is the battery voltage with the key off? Have you verified the battery connections, because this sounds as if it is a bad or corroded connection at the battery or starter itself. You can still have bright lights, but not enough ampere to get the starter to rotate.

The click you hear is the starter relay. Check for continuity thru relay with battery negative cable disconnected and switch in start position. If no continuity, it probably has burned contacts. Sometimes these can be taken apart and contacts filed/sanded cleaned.

Check connection battery.
