Starter Solenoid

This test can only be performed with the starter motor removed from the vehicle.

1. Remove the starter motor from the vehicle.
2. Disconnect the wire from the solenoid field coil terminal.
3. Check the solenoid (1) for continuity between the solenoid terminal (2) and the solenoid field coil terminal (4) with a continuity tester (3). There should be continuity. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, replace the faulty starter motor assembly.
