JUST A LIL ADDED SAFETY When you short by pass jump around the solenoid with a jumper cable of another battery cable you can either go from the solenoids input over to its output/starter side,,,,, ,,,or from solenoids input side direct to a starter post/stud (if ones available) or else from the hot ungrounded battery post direct down to the starters stud/post BUT USE CAUTION and dont get against frame ground and thats gonna be a high current n arcing connection ya know with arcin n sparkin till you get a good bite. You dont want any gas or gas fumes lingering near by (try n make final connection away from battery top or gas) cuz it can realy make fire fly when you do that jump solenoid by pass test Before the solenoid can even pull in /latch to work regardless if its contactors are bad or good, it has to click which is caused by the start switch applying hot battery voltage to one of its lil S engage terminals, so see if its even trying to work BEFORE that sparking by pass test. On most of them you can test by using a lil jumper wire to jump hot input battery voltage from the battery there on the solenoids big input stud over to its lil S input terminal which effectively does what should happen if you try n start it with key or switch etc. If she cranks then but NOT by using the key/button then the solenoid isnt the problem. MAKE SURE THE SOLENOID IS AT LEAST tryign to work first John T
