There are 2 ways to test it, Both ways require the cart to be hooked up and energy running through it all, 1.) Take a spare piece of wire and put the car in gear and hit the pedal and touch the two large terminals of the solenoid and if the wheels spin that means the solenoid is BAD if it doesnt spin then you might want to check your microswitches and wires. 2.) measure the 2 small terminals with a mulitmeter ad depending on the voltage of your cart it should show up on the multimeter.
The word, 'Solenoid' defines a shape, which turns out to be cylinder-shaped. Solenoid is an adjective . . . that means that it modifies a noun. The noun in this case is coil: As in 'solenoid coil' which is cylinder-shaped. In a car, the solenoid coil, or just 'Solenoid' pulls in the electric contactor on a car's starter to turn the starter. After the car starts, the solenoid releases the contactor to where it will be ready for the next engine startup.
Well how do you do it?
No if we are talking about the starter solenoid.
[A] short wires across on plug read code then run car [read and note code] [B] unshort plug run car ,[read and note code ][C] replug back in solenoid run [note and read code] which fault did u first have before test .If A short in solenoid itself ,If b in all tests broken wire .If c solenoid or tank leak [canister]
The starter solenoid is close to the battery of your car. Follow the red battery cable to reach the solenoid. Use your car's manual for any help.
The best way to do this is to take into a mechanic. They will have all the right parts to help you out with this.
seized engine? defective or disconnected solenoid? starter not grounded? starter is engaging a damaged gear?
Sounds like you might have a bad starter solenoid. Test your battery terminals first to see if they are loose or corroded.
that test indicates that you need to replace the starter motor.if no clicking in this test , you would replace solenoid first. but clicking indicates solenoid works,so replace starter motor
On the chevy solenoid, you may be looking for the shift solenoid, and wondering where it is. The shift solenoid on this car is located inside the motor.
if the car has a new battery and solenoid then I would remove the starter and bench test it. if it bench tests ok then make sure it is not jammed. does the starter click? if not then it may be wires. check and make sure the little solenoid wire is connected as well.
