Solenoid Circuit Test

  1. Disable vehicle ignition and fuel systems. See DISABLING/ENABLING IGNITION & FUEL SYSTEMS .
  2. Ensure battery is fully charged. Ensure solenoid connections are not loose or corroded. Remove starter relay from power distribution center. Refer to power distribution center cover for proper relay location. Power distribution center is located in engine compartment.
  3. Connect a remote starter switch or jumper wire between starter relay cavity terminal No. 87 and positive battery terminal. For identification, see appropriate RELAY TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION table under STARTER RELAY TEST . See Figure, Figure or Figure . If engine cranks, perform STARTER RELAY TEST .
  4. If engine fails to crank, or if solenoid chatters, check wiring and connectors from starter relay cavity to starter solenoid terminal. Repair any loose or corroded connections. On Neon models, if engine still fails to crank, replace starter. On all other models, if engine still fails to crank, remove starter. Perform SOLENOID TEST  under BENCH TESTING.
