Subject: Re: '90 9000T Reverse Lights Out!?


For my car '90 9000T I turn the key, lights come on, but no sound from the starter or engine. I try again, and again lights on, but no sounds from engine compartment, starter, etc... I try third time, the start tries and then the engine starts. Where is the solenoid on a '90 9000T located? I had the starter replaced once and I still have the same problem.
