Good luck finding just the solenoid for our starters, I recently went through the same thing you're going through. You also need a small *** torx tool (female) to unbolt it from the starter housing, which is another pain in the *** to find. You can find the whole starter from any O'Reilly, Autozone, or other auto parts store. Get ready to pay $140-$180 for a remanufactured one, but atleast they have a lifetime warranty.

If you do happen to find a place that carries just the solenoid, post it up.

I got a surplus starter from valvegod at aol dot com for pretty cheap. Give Shaun an email and ask about one.

Local auto parts stores do carry them as well as ebay and rockauto.

You mean whole starter or just solenoid? I'd rather get just solenoid for the price and cost of shipping (whole starter is heavy to ship to Latvia)

Well I was lucky to find just solenoid in my country, in small shop :o didn't think it was possible
In US it will probably cost about $20. I'll post part # later
