I need to locate the starter in my 2002 auroa

Usually if a vehicle won't start up, a few things could be wrong with it;

Try testing the starter; if it works when power is supplied to it, then there is another problem.
The battery could need to be replaced, you can have that tested at your local auto parts store.
the alternator could be bad as well, you can have that tested too.
Other than that, you could be having trouble with blown fuses, and you may have to replace the relays for the starter or ignition system.

If the engine cranks but won't start, the battery and starter are out of the picture.
When it won't start, someone will need to check fuel pressure and for spark at the plugs to proceed.

The security system does not disable the starter, it only disables fuel to the engine. In the fuse block under the hood, locate the STARTER relay. Place your hand on this relay and see if it clicks while someone else turns the key to start...if the relay is ok then the starter itself is faulty. Good luck, i hope this helps.

The starter relay is located in the PDC (power distribution center) located under the hood with a removable lid (black box). Exactly how old is the battery and what is the battery voltage with the key off? Have you verified the battery connections, because this sounds as if it is a bad or corroded connection at the battery or starter itself. You can still have bright lights, but not enough ampere to get the starter to rotate.

Here is the cylinder layout of the cars two available engines, the 3.5 liter V6 and the 4.0 liter V8.
1st the 4.0 liter


Second the 3.5 liter V6

Replace alternator it is defective the internal regulator is defective, should only put out no more then 14.5 volt's, will short out your battery.

cheap made starter on those models you need to replace the whole starter cause putting a new solenoid on it won;t fix it

Sounds like the air compressor went south....

The starter is located under the intake manifold.
