Re: 3176 Will not shut down Reply #25 – June 20, 2023, 09:09:04 pm Quote from: Modern Day Jipzee – June 20, 2023, 11:04:58 amJustinAny Ideas?AndrewAndrew,What Brett said ....... It wasn't quite clear to me that you were describing the test results of a bad solenoid. Based on your comments, it seems like the relay is pulling in as it should when you turn the key to start but it isn't dropping out when you turn the key off. Removing a wire from the coil (small wire ) and it really doesn't matter which one as either will break the coil circuit and cause the relay to drop out. If this is what is happening, then it appears to me that the relay is working. If the relay (solenoid) doesn't drop out when the small coil wire is removed then yes it would be "sticking" or stuck contacts. It is also possible for this solenoid to sound like it's dropping out "clunk" but the contacts remain closed (large contacts still showing continuity)Remote troubleshooting can be difficult, a good volt meter and a accurate wiring diagram would get you to the problem rather quickly. 🙂 Quote Selected
Re: 3176 Will not shut down Reply #26 – June 21, 2023, 09:11:11 am BrettI was thinking the same thing but did not know for sure.If red 103 is supposed to power up the solenoid and doesn't should I leave that one off the post if the problem persist? I'll post as soon as I install the Solenoid. Thanks Too AllAndrew Quote Selected

AndrewI thought the problem was that it didn't turn off when the key turned off (i.e. solenoid stayed energized) rather than not providing 12 VDC positive when the key turned on. Quote Selected
