Starter motors vary in specific location on different models and makes of vehicles. There is, however, one constant. In every case, the starter connects thru a heavy cable either directly to the battery or to a starter solonoid in the engine compartment that is, itself, connected directly to the battery. Find the biggest (usually RED) B+ cable and follow it to the Starter. If it terminates on a starter solonoid, follow the cable on the other side of the solonoid to the starter.
When you hit the starter button the starter relay send power to the starter. the starter solenoid pushes the starter shaft outward and the starter turns. When the solenoid moves the shaft it is connected to the jackshaft which ingages the starter gear on the clutch
If it is like my '86 Samurai there is no starter relay. It uses a starter solenoid on the top of the starter to pass battery to starter motor when the solenoid is activated via the key switch.
Remove and replace the starter.

Place the starter into the starter position and secure it with the starter retaining bolts. Connect the starter cables to the front of the starter.
Bolt the starter into the starter position. There will be three starter retaining bolts. Connect the cables to the front of the starter.

Probably not the starter.
The starter solenoid is located on top of the starter. It is the small cylinder attached to the starter. It is a part of the starter which can be replaced/repaired independent from the starter itself.
