STARTER SOLENOID TEST
Test starter solenoid as follows:
1. Disconnect all leads from solenoid terminals.
2. Use an ohmmeter, set to (R x 1 scale) and connect be-
tween solenoid terminals 1 and 2.
3. Connect a 12-volt supply between solenoid terminals
3 and 4. Solenoid should click and meter should read
zero ohms.
4. If meter does not read zero ohms (full continuity), re-
place solenoid.
