If you are asking about the print solenoid. Remove thr ribbon, below the ribbon just inside thr L. printer frame. It's about an inch & 1/2 in diam. and about 3/4 inch thick and silver.
Rattling the brain cells...., I think tyhis used to happen when the print wheel was bend and couldn't roate freely, check the daisywheel hasn't any bent arms and that ribbon or corection tape are not stopping it from spinning, ensure it is locked in place, try another whell if you have to ensure.
Check in the area where the printwheel is installed for paper or other debris. If it does the same thing with the printwheel out then it is probably a printwheel sensor.
