If you follow the battery positive cable towards the engine it will take you straight to it. This guide will help you walk through the repair

1. Disconnect battery negative remote cable from remote ground post. 2. Raise vehicle. 3. Remove 3 bolts attaching starter to engine. 4. Remove battery positive feed wire from starter. 5. Remove starter solenoid assembly from transmission housing. Position the starter to gain access to the posi-lock wiring connector. 6. Position jack stand beneath engine and slightly lift to relieve pressure from left engine mount. 7. Remove 3 left engine mount mounting bolts from engine block. 8. Jack engine up slightly to give more room to maneuver starter assembly. 9. Slide rear of starter motor out between catalyst and engine mount. 10. Disconnect posi-lock starter solenoid connector. 11. Remove the starter from vehicle. 12. To install, reverse the removal procedures. Clean corrosion/dirt from the cable and wire terminals before installing wiring to the solenoid. Reconnect posi-lock connector right after starter is placed into position.
