Electrical problem
1997 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 202000 miles

I need to replace the starter.
I am a limited home mechanic.
But with some coaching, I know I can do it.
Where is the starter on the 1997 Taurus XL?
Is it a matter of a few bolts and plug?

Disconnect the negative battery cable and set aside
jack and support the car
locate starter and disconnect wires
remove nut over ground cable
remove two mounting bolts
good luck
