Here are some steps on how to locate the solenoid on a 1996 Volvo 850:
1. Open the hood of your car.
2. Locate the starter motor. It is usually located on the driver's side of the engine, near the transmission.
3. The solenoid is a small, cylindrical device that is attached to the starter motor. It is usually located on the top or side of the starter motor.
4. The solenoid has two electrical terminals. One terminal is connected to the battery, and the other terminal is connected to the starter motor.
If you are having problems starting your car, the solenoid may be faulty. You can test the solenoid by using a multimeter to check for continuity between the two terminals. If there is no continuity, the solenoid is faulty and needs to be replaced.
