The sol is part of the starter,pull the plug we have been discussing and run a '+' line to it from the battery,if the starter engages and turns its not the sol, trace the sol line back to find the fault causing no power to the starter..I still dont think you need a new one!
Oh ok. So that's not what I did then? I had a + line from the battery going to the smallest of the 3 screws on the sol and the starter engaged and cranked the engine when I re-connected the battery - cable.
So you saying to disconnect the plug (near the battery, black wire connecting to the black/grey wire) that connects to the sol and "then" run the + line to it?
oh and I didn't order a new starter, just a sol. Thinking that the sol is what is bad and not the starter it self as it engaged the engine when I did my test.
