2006 3.9 ford freestar where is the starter seleonid located

Is there a fuse you can to check and jump to see if can start the before going all the way to the starter.

you need a volt meter to check battery voltage first.you are looking for 12.6 volts at battery.also check for loose or missing wires,corroded connections.make sure everything is clean and tight,and hooked where it's suppose to be.then if you have voltage at battery,turn switch on,and check for voltage at starter from battery.
