How do you replace a starter for a 1993 Buick LeSabre?
Answer :
"It'll be center, front, right under the engine. Disconnect the battery, then remove the wires from the starter. They'll be connected at two points. Just look at the new starter to figure out where to find them on the old one. There should be two bolts, one on the front and one in back holding it in. One of these also hold a small plastic sheild in place. You might have to wiggle the starter around a bit to get it out".(Google search)

Although most automatics will not crank if the transmission is in gear??? Weird.
