Solenoid Tests
CAUTION:
DO NOT engage starter solenoid for more than 5 seconds during testing, or damage to coil winding will result.
- Remove the terminal "C" nut and disconnect the field coil lead wire from terminal "C". Go to step 2.
- Connect the battery positive to the magnetic switch (Terminal 50), clip ground to terminal "C" and the main body of the starter. Ensure that the clutch pinion gear moves outward. See Fig 1. If as specified, go to step 3.
- Disconnect the negative lead from terminal "C". See Fig 2. Verify that the pinion gear remains out. If as specified, go to step 4.
- Disconnect the negative lead from the switch body. See Fig 3. Verify that the clutch pinion gear returns inward. If as specified, go to step 5.
- Switch is good, connect the lead wire to terminal "C" with the terminal "C" nut. Tighten the nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
