Grounded neg to chassis, used my bug light on + terminal and touched it to the two tabs each in turn. The one at 10 o’clock lit the light meaning continuity. The one at 3 o’clock did not light the light.
And, neither one made the solenoid click. Could I possibly not have enough amperage to move the solenoid? I am using a 200 amp tractor battery I bought just so I could move it around to do tests. I thought it didn’t take a lot to just get a click out of the solenoid.
I’ll stick battery on the charger in the meantime while I await more advice.
Not sure how that would work for triggering the solenoid. Did you try just connecting the chassis to ground and touching a hot wire to each of the terminals?
I say ‘hot’ wire because I do not know if your car ir positive or negative ground.
On a hunch, I removed the bug light and used a 16 gauge jumper wire. Touched to terminals the 10 o clock one makes the solenoid noise and the 3 o clock one does not.
So, consensus? I should be good to hook up the 10 o clock one to the starter button wire?
