Your starter relay or solenoid has failed. Replace it and make sure it's shimmed. in properly.
Is it the box that says starter relay when u open it. It's right under neath the fuse box. How do we know which one to replace?
Any mechanic can check the relay to make sure its working properly with a multimeter or most car parts places can check it for free Any electrician can also check if the problem is before or after the relay with a simp!e voltage tester light. If this is all fine then the problem is with the starter or starter solenoid attached to it.
Thank YOU. I'll have someone do that for us..need a car for work by Monday..
We can't find the starter relay or solenoid. Don't know where it's located
The starter solenoid is physically attached to the starter, as a complete subassembly. Follow the two thick wires from the red (positive) battery terminal wire. One will go to the fuse panel, while the other thick wire will go down to a long round tube connected to the motor, usually close to where the motor and transmission meet.

Always disconnect the positive battery wire before working on the starter.
