They are located behind the engine, and down by the gearbox/flywheel. There is two bolts which hold it on and two for the wires i think, or maybe one for the wire...
You'll need access from under the car.

i wasnt able to jump start it but was able to bump start it
have taken battery out to charge but the charger is already showing that its full
is this the starter motor? could also be the solenoid?

if you tap the starter with a hammer it can sometimes un-jamm it and will then engage properly.
dunno if it'll work, but probably worth a try before you buy a new one.
