The 2004 Ford Expedition has a starter solenoid located on the left side of the starter motor, situated at the base of the engine. This solenoid is responsible for moving the gear from the starter to connect with the starter gear in the engine. Without this solenoid, the starter would constantly engage with the engine, causing it to overheat and potentially burn out. By allowing the starter to detach from the engine when not in use, the solenoid helps to prevent this issue. If you notice that your starter is not functioning properly, it may be due to a fault in the solenoid, which will likely require replacement.
The starter solenoid for the 2004 Ford Expedition is located adjacent to the starter motor.
