What happens here
Next, locate the solenoid, which is typically mounted on the fender well near the battery. The creator identifies the various wires connected to the solenoid. Use a ratcheting wrench to carefully remove the wires from the old solenoid, noting their positions or taking a picture for reference. Then, install the new Duralast solenoid by connecting the wires in the same order as they were removed. The creator emphasizes the ease of using a Craftsman ratcheting wrench for this task.
Goal: Replace the faulty solenoid with a new Duralast unit.
