Where is starter and solenoin on my cat. Does one click when trying to start usually mean a starter problem?

Start by checking battery is good. Or replace the starter motor ! If vehicle goes dark(no power) when it clicks it sounds like a bad connection at the battery. Otherwise its probably the starter.

Its located under the vehicle, where at the bell housing. See instructions for replacement below

The car will not start. The dash lights up and all I hear is a click when I turn the key. I thought it was the starter, and I replaced the starter. It still won't start. Does anybody have any idea what kind of thing would stop the starter from turning over?
