it's on the passenger side of the car near the tranny...............that's the rear of the car.

It may be worth checking out your local auto supply store. Mine had re-manufactured Bosch units for $39 bucks!! I bought 2!

Before you buy anything, diagnose the problem, which could be as simple as a bad ground connection (a battery terminal or the body-to-transmission ground strap) or a bad ignition switch/connection.

If the fault happens only when the car gets hot, it's a known 912 problem, usually caused by a combination of the above. There used to be a relay kit to feed full power to the solenoid; Performance Products used to sell them.

Does the ignition system have power? If so, see above. If not, look elsewhere.

There is also a yellow that connects to the Starter that can come loose or needs to be cleaned.
