The automobile—a machine that means so much to so many—is a complex system built on the designs and ideas of men and women who are long gone from the world. And while we’ve enjoyed traveling the backroads of childhood, the streets of adolescence, and the highways of adulthood, the car has remained a reliable means of transportation, as well as a vehicle that embodies the hopes and dreams of reaching exciting new destinations, or returning home. For a car to operate normally, it must have some basic care and maintenance.

A starter solenoid, or starter relay, is the part of an automobile which relays a large electrical current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion. In this free video series, a car maintenance expert will teach you how to replace old or broken starter solenoids with step-by-step video instructions. You'll learn what tools you need, how to diagnose command wires, how to remove starter relays and mount new starter solenoids, and eventually how to hook up the electronics. Make sure your car starts properly by repairing starter solenoids!
