Starter Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

Fig. 5 Testing Starter Solenoid:

1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Disconnect ``M'' terminal of starter motor, Fig. 5.
3. Using a suitable ohmmeter, check continuity between ``S'' terminal of starter motor and switch body. Continuity should exist. If continuity does not exist, starter solenoid is defective. Replace as necessary.
4. Check for continuity between ``S'' and ``M'' terminals of starter motor. Continuity should exist. If continuity does not exist, starter solenoid is defective. Replace as necessary.
