G16 No Solenoid Click

FF Titus · 07-31-2014, 09:19 AM

Battery tested at 11 volts. We jump the red with white stripe from positive on battery to the small post on the solenoid. When we do that, the engine turns right over.

Tested and bypassed the floor pedal switch with a new one, nothing.

It's worth noting when we put it in reverse, with key on, and press the gas pedal, the buzzer dies.

What am I missing? Thank you

I've checked the ground, fuse, and it has a brand new solenoid.

So basically something isn't right between the key, and the solenoid? Was just gonna say check the fuse but you covered that. You pulled off the dash/cupholder and checked the connections to you key switch? I would pull the wires off the key switch and hot wire them together. Maybe a faulty switch

Only 11 volts at the battery? Should be over 12 even 13. Put your volt meter on the battery and push on the pedal, what voltage drop do you get ? If less then 10 volts, battery is not capable to energize the solenoid or turn over the starter/generator.

Load tested 11 volts. I put a fresh battery on it, same thing. The back up buzzer has me worried. It works sometimes...cuts in, sounds dim, then randomly will be loader, now nothing.
