I need help locating the solenoid on my truck so that I can bypass it by using a wire. Can you help me? Google can't show me where it's located.

I assume you are talking about the starter solenoid? If so, that is on the starter itself.

I am attaching a picture of it and it will have two wires on it. One will have 12 volts all the time. The other is the control wire which is going to engage the starter when it has 12 volts to it.

I attached the info below. Let us know if you have questions. Thanks
