You could clip = a voltmeter on the solenoid wire, and push the starter button, and see = what you get when it malfunctions. If you get 12V, with no starter action, = it's the solenoid. If you don't get 12V, then take a look at your contactor contacts, or the wires between the contactor and the starter. Of course = you can always take the starter down to almost any auto parts store and have = it tested for free. =20 You're just determined to have all the problems, aren't you :-) Rusty (hands shredded from aeroquip hoses)
