Hello,
I tried to delete the post but it appears I just removed one comment and not the whole topic. I tried, unsuccessful, to embed a link to a google drive video I made. I referenced the FAQ on how to attach links and embed but I obviously don’t know
what I’m doing.
Basically the video shows this:
1. Start wire on “S” terminal starter solenoid disconnected (engine off tests)
- key in run position = 7vdc at coil
-key in start position= 11vdc at coil
-key snaps back to run= 7vdc at coil
This appears normal. Resistor wire drops voltage in run position, granted there is no load as engine is not running.
2. Reconnect “S” wire on starter solenoid (engine on tests)
- key in run position= 7v at coil
- key in start position- 11v at coil
- key snaps back to run position= 11v
As you can see, when the engine is running, I’m getting full battery power at the coil +. It’s acting like it’s not going through the resistor wire. I know the resistor wire exists as shown in value above. I thought maybe the ignition switch
was out of sorts but it functions normally with engine not running.
So there is something that is happening in the system that when it has a load the resistor wire is acting like a regular piece of wire...
If anyone has any ideas I appreciate your time. I’m assuming it’s not ideal for the ICM and coil to be getting 11v all the time while driving around.
