Solenoid Windings
- To check hold-in circuit, connect solenoid to 6 volt DC power supply, with an ammeter in series. Connect positive lead of 6 volt battery to solenoid terminal and positive lead of ammeter to solenoid case. Attach negative battery lead to other ammeter terminal. Turn on circuit and check current draw.
- To check pull-in coil, move the positive ammeter lead from solenoid case to solenoid lead terminal. Turn on circuit and check current draw.
- If either winding test does not meet specifications, or if windings look burned or damaged, replace solenoid assembly.
