Replaced Soleniod, Battery Sparks!
I went through the DCS Troubleshooting and replaced solenoid as described. Tried to hook up my negative battery cable to test her out and I got huge arc. I made sure I was in TOW mode, key off, everything.....tried again, huge arc....Something is hot somewhere, but it makes no sense to me as I followed the book to the T! Any advice out there?? Thanks

Re: Replaced Soleniod, Battery Sparks!
Thanks! However, maybe I was underdescribing the arc. It is flat out sparking heavily when I try to connect the negative cable to battery, just like when you touch two jumper cables together. Is it still normal? Thanks

Re: Replaced Soleniod, Battery Sparks!
maybe not ? Most people tend to over state the size of the arc... how about some pics of the install?

Re: Replaced Soleniod, Battery Sparks!
One thing, and maybe this is just me......
Try disconnecting the Positive and hooking up the ground first, then hooking up the positive last. I have always been a firm believer in having the ground connected before I connect the hot lead. Goes back to my days as an electrician, but we always wanted ground connected before the hot leads..... |

Re: Replaced Soleniod, Battery Sparks!
Good Stuff rabbitreborn! Worked better! So replaced solenoid and stick no click. When I put a meter on solenoid battery side, I get 39.2 V. When I put it on controller side, I get 39.2 V. It's like it is stuck in open? position........Continued troubleshooting by the book an DCS, and it all checked out. Another bad solenoid??

Re: Replaced Soleniod, Battery Sparks!
I looked at some other threads about having an open load on the system. I traced all wiring and found a faulty pedal micro switch. So if you see sparks out there, check the micro switch under floor! Thanks to all!
