Solenoid Test: Solenoid

  1. Disconnect all wires from solenoid, including "M" wire between solenoid and starter. Using ohmmeter, ensure there is continuity between "S" and "M" terminals, and between "S" terminal and solenoid body. See Figure and Figure . If continuity does not exist between these terminals, replace solenoid.
  2. Ensure continuity does not exist between "M" and "B" terminals. If continuity exists between these terminals, solenoid is shorted. Replace solenoid.
