Mend Chevrolet Safari 2002 Starter Dash Lights

how do i replace starter or solenoid in 2002 safari?

When I turn the key, the dash lights go dim and voltage drops. Even with heavy duty jumper cables on a known good battery in a running car, the same symptoms appear. Right after Christmas, I would prefer to replace just the solenoid, if that is the problem.
What is the best way to get it started in the meantime? Can I just put 12v directly to the starter?

Check to see if your battery terminals are clean, not sure clean them. Check the ground cable (black) to the engine block. It should be on the lower front drivers side of the motor. If in doubt replace/add a new ground wire from the block to the Batt -. Beware the fan!
