thanks Ron
I have removed both small wires to the solenoid but did not help.
I checked for voltage on both sides of the solenoid, with the wire to the starter disconected, solenoid is good.
checking with my meter with the battery disconected and the cable to the stater disconected the solenoid is open but when I conected the cable to the stater the solenoid then reads closed.
Makes no sense to me.when I get home I well check to see what i read with stater wire disconected from the solenoid.starter cable to ground.should be no reading (open)right?
Thanks
Bill
