I will attach the info below on the starter solenoid location, but it is part of the starter.

If the engine will not start, then we need to start with this guide as that will get us started with figuring out the issue.

However, the best thing to do is check the voltage at the starter and find out what the voltage is. If you have 12 volts on both wires when cranking the engine, then the starter is the issue.

Here is a guide that will help with checking the voltage:

Here is a guide that will help with replacing a starter on a like vehicle with a similar engine:

Please see the wiring diagram below. Let's run through this and let us know what you find. Thanks
