Solenoid Test

Make sure that the starter solenoid is isolated electrically from the starter motor. Using a Rotunda 73 Digital Multimeter 105-R0051 or equivalent, check for continuity between S-terminal and M-terminal, and between S-terminal and ground (starter frame and magnet). See Figure . If there is no continuity, the following conditions may exist:

• Open wire. Replace starter solenoid.
• Ice, dirt or other foreign material preventing contact. Service as necessary.
