Where is starter located on 1996 Town and Country?

The starter is located in middle of my 97 3.8L T$C Van about at the level of the visible row of spark plugs ... you must get under the van to see the solenoid and starter. Here are the directions to replace it ... I had the hardest time putting the spacer up in place - it was like a big gasket but made of metal and the bolt holes held it in place ... it would not stay on the starter for me I took off the black box by the air cleaner so I could access the top bolt and worked on the bottom bolt from the bottom ... only 2 bolts holding it in place in the bell housing. Finally it all fell into place and all I had to do was install the two bolts.My mechanic said it would take 30 minutes and the flat rate manual said 1 hour but it took me 2 hr 20 minutes.

But, it works great and no more not starting when you turn the key on - used to have to turn the key on twice to get the solenoid to activate the starter. Not an easy job but not too hard. Autozone had a lifetime rebuilt starter for the 3.8L T&C for $81 net once I returned the core for a $45 refund.

Of course, next time it will be a piece of cake! I am a fair mechanic but not a good one! Disconnect the negative battery cable Raise and safely support the front of the vehicle securely on jackstands Disengage the solenoid wiring connector from the terminal.

This connection may be held in place by a retaining nut, or it could be a push-in connector. Mine was a push in with screw driver to release then pull the wire fitting out Remove the B+ nut and wire from the starter motor terminal. Need deep socket Remove the starter motor-to-transaxle bellhousing mounting bolts - only 2!

Remove the starter from the vehicle. If equipped, remove the starter motor spacer. Mine had the metal spacer that looks like a metal gasket ... it seems to keep dirt and debree out of the bell housing and seals it off from dirt To install: If equipped, hold the starter motor spacer in position - hardest part!

Install the starter motor into position on the vehicle Install the starter motor-to-transaxle bellhousing mounting bolts. Tighten the mounting bolts to 40 ft.Lbs.(54 Nm) Engage the solenoid wiring connector onto the starter terminal Connect the B+ wire and tighten the retaining nut to 90 inch lbs.(10 Nm) Lower the vehicle Connect the negative battery cable Verify starter motor operation Good Luck J San Antonio.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
