Where is the starter Solenoid on a 1996 Chevrolet Beretta Z26 3.1L?

The starter solenoid on a 1996 Chevrolet Beretta 3.1L (including the Z26) is typically mounted on the starter motor itself. The starter is located on the engine block, towards the lower front, on the passenger side (right side when sitting in the driver's seat). Because it's integrated into the starter, you won't see a separate solenoid unit.

To find it visually, you'll need to look for the large starter motor, usually with a couple of sizable cables attached (one thick positive cable from the battery and a smaller cable to the ignition system). The solenoid is the smaller electrical component on the starter itself, often with a couple of smaller terminals. You'll likely need to get under the car or at least have good access to the underside of the engine to clearly see it.
