How do you test the solenoid? Is this a common problem?

I am having the same problem, and this is the only thread I found that has the same symptoms....

 

[Don Buzinsky]

i think you check the battery and ground connections and the connections to the solenoid. if they are all good we have to replace the solenoid.(at least that's what i'm going to do)

Is the battery fully charged? Did you load test it? Did you check the Main Fuse? Are all of the involved connections clean? You can test connections by measuring voltage across them. If you see a voltage across a connection, it is bad. After doing all this, then I would consider buying a relay. After all, it is clicking. There is just no power getting to the starter.

By the way, ... The above link to the service manual did not work for me. So try this one

And, Where are at on this fix?

 

[Don Buzinsky]

have been building a garage this fall, will work on it hopefully this weekend

 

[Len Todd]

No Problem. I have one of those kind of "projects" going on too. About a week left and I'll be done with it.

 

[Don Buzinsky]

battery and solenoid connections are good, it seemed to have disappeared. maybe not enough use before i got it.
