Not charging. Low voltage causes solenoid to click.

Default Re: Question about my solenoid

i also ran a continuity test on all the micro switches and they tested fine.

I was looking over the my 2000 maintenance and service manual. On the wiring diagram in the book it's showing a diode that goes on the small terminals on the solenoid. I do not have one on my solenoid. Would that might be the problem?

Default Re: Question about my solenoid

I installed a brand new solenoid and ran a test on the voltage regulator.

I put my red probe on the large post of the solenoid with the red wire from the voltage regulator attached. I put the black probe on the negative battery post. Turned the key on and started the motor and it read 12.9 volts. When i pressed the pedal down the volts dropped down to 3 volts. When i let off the gas for the motor to idle it went back to 12.9 V. Can anyone help please?
