Where is the starter located on a 1998 olds aurora

If you have brake lights, that switch is OK. The shifter release solenoid is built into the shifter. The whole shifter has to be replaced. It could be the wiring. Usually not though. Most times t is that high dollar shifter.

IF YOU DONT SEE STARTER UNDERNEATH CAR NEAR FLY WHEEL AND YOU HAVE THE 4.0L ENGINE STARTER LOCATED UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD JUST LIKE THE 4.6L ENGINES IN CADILLACS.YOU HAVE TO REMOVE INTAKE TO REPLACE STARTER.

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 4.0L ENGINE STARTER LOCATED UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE 3.5L ENGINE STARTER ON LOWER FRONT OF THE ENGINE.YOU HAVE TO REMOVE LOWER FRONT AIR DEFLECTOR.TO SEE IT.

The starter is located on the back of the engine. Follow the thick wire from the battery down to the solenoid on the starter.

Unfortunately it's located under the intake manifold. But if you have some Machanical ability then it's really not that bad to replace.

you should check if the Fuel is flowing properly

Replace fuse under the back seat. Look in your manual, look in the fuse section and it will tell you which fuse it is exactly
