On your van the solenoid is attached to the starter. If you can get a solenoid separate (i don't know if you can) then you will need to take the starter off and remove the solenoid (2 screws holding it on) and the wires (on red and one black i believe) pay attention to which wire goes where because you don't want to reverse it on the new solenoid.

2000 Pontiac Montana 3400 van won't crank yellow wire from my ignition is hot when key is on nothing from there to starter
Most likely the connection at the starter has fallen loose. It's happened to me before. BTW, if it isn't connected, the starter solenoid won't click. If it is connected, the solenoid will click and engage the starter. If it is clicking and no starter turns, the solenoid is faulty or the cable connection is corroded or loose.

You may be able to delete those codes. What repair required you to disconnect the cable? What changed? Is the transmission functioning. The solenoid is inside the pan on the valve body and controls Torque converter lockup. Did you disturb the wires while changing the trans. filter?

2006 Pontiac Montana wont start after replacing battery. Engine cranks as soon a key is moved from off, then continue to crank even after removing the key.
Sounds like your starter solenoid is stuck in the on position if you can get down there and have some one hook the battery on, hit the starter with a hammer some time this will disengage the starter.

Pontiac Montana starting problem
All 4 power wires go together on the large center stud on the solenoid.
The purple wire goes on the small stud.
The purple wire supplys the trigger signal when the key is turned to the start position.Since your solenoid is clicking when the key is turned to start this is working properly.
I would check battery connections and then check power connections on solenoid again.Make sure all connections are clean and tight.
