Suppose I installed the diode backwards
Just hypothetically
07 Precedent IQ Alltrax controller 400 amp solenoid Just suppose, hypothetically , I reversed the diode on this system. What could the damage be. I had it connected the right way and the solenoid was clicking when the key was turned but through some troubleshooting efforts I removed it and re-installed it backwards (don't ask... ). What would be damaged. Now the solenoid no longer clicks. Would just the solenoid be damaged, and if so, is it repairable |

To test it, can't I just apply 48VDC to the small terminals (with the blue/white & blue wires)? Shouldn't that energize it? Also, as Stevegrmich stated, wouldn't reversing them just prevent the solenoid from activating as the diode isn't letting the voltage flow properly? Maybe, as a kid, I should have taken my Heathkit a little more serious, |

Re: Suppose I installed the diode backwards
Go back to your other thread........
Test your MCOR per the procedures that were provided to you, before you do anything else, odds are, your solenoid is just fine..... I have installed them wrong before and no issues. We already know that your MCOR is suspect... Test it and post back in your original thread, no need for TWO threads... |
