Where's the starter located?!

I believe this is what it looks like off the car. And I think the solenoid is part of the unit, as in, don't know if you can replace just that. Could be wrong about that. Based on your pics it looks like a bear to get at. A remanufactured starter (w/solenoid) costs less then $200 but the labor might just kill you.
good luck

I have the same year(03 right?) had the exact same problem. The hardest part was actually locating it and fishing the damn thing out. After taking out the two bolts, we had to move a lower bracket, and fkn mcgyver it out. It's not hard to replace by no means, but getting the old one out and the new one in is a different story.
Let us know how it goes, hate to see anyone's car down :/

Thats exactly what i did, i found a salvage lot in Chula Vista and got one for $50, im pretty happy with it! I had my wife drive me down and then brought it back to that parking lot and jacked it up with my one jack and changed it out there.stupid and dangerous, i know but i was soooo excited to get my G running again! Definitely investing in a couple jack stands. between the slight incline(10-20degrees) and nothing but the handbrake to keep it from moving, I was scared sh!tless the whole time. A week without my G made for a hard and horrible week! and in doing the process I figured I would make a DIY, so i took some pictures. yeah its super simple, but when you dont know what to do you freak out a lil. and maybe if people see how easy it is, they will get into DIY'n more themselves!
