By "coil slot" I was referring to the slot in the Painless fuse panel that holds the 30 amp fuse. .... that's the label on that slot.

I drove the car using the 6V solenoid for a few months without any problems before buying a 12 V solenoid. I'll try driving it without activating the 6 V solenoid... see wht happens. I ran out of time Friday.... and frankly got lucky.... the fuse blew just a few blocks from where I started, and I was able to coast (backwards) downhill to my starting point. (did I mention? The car quit dead when the fuse blew).
