the leads across the large terminals (A) as shown.
OTurn the engine switch to the START (II) position and read the meter.
*If the solenoid does not click or if the meter reads more than 0 n the
solenoid is faulty. Replace it.
*If the solenoid makes a single clicking sound, the meter reads 0 n and
the pinion gear moves outward the solenoid and the rest of the starter
circuit is good.
*If solenoid clicks once but the meter does not read 0 n, the solenoid
is faulty. Replace it.
*If the solenoid does not click at all, proceed with the following.
