testing the solonoid for the starter
how do I test the starter solonoid off the car? If I ground the solonoid and apply power to the small terminal, shouldn't I hear the soloniod move?

Re: testing the solonoid for the starter
Maybe you will hear it. A ground and a power through. Old way to jump a car was with a scewdriver.
Ground to 3rd pole +. Power to the terminal - . Ground to the little pole. Coil won't move without +/- forces. They rarely not work. Last edited by Tinker; 07-08-2022 at 09:55 PM. |

Re: testing the solonoid for the starter
Granted they do not care about polarity.
It's a very simple device. On the large poles is a though charge of same. + or -. They only connect when an opposite charge is employed. In this case a single ground wire from the starter button to the small pole. Last edited by Tinker; 07-08-2022 at 09:56 PM. |
