TEST PROCEDURE 10 – SOLENOID CONTACTS (POWER OFF)
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
If the vehicle begins to move as soon as the Forward/Reverse handle is placed in the FORWARD or
REVERSE position, without having pressed the accelerator pedal, the solenoid is probably welded closed.
Test the solenoid as follows:
1. Place the red (+) probe of a multimeter (set at
Ω
) on one of the large terminal posts on the solenoid, and
place the black (–) probe on the other large terminal post on the solenoid. The reading should be no con-
tinuity (Figure 11-18, Page 11-15).
2. If the reading is incorrect, replace the solenoid and snubber. See Section 12 – Electrical Components.
TEST PROCEDURE 11 – SOLENOID CONTACTS (POWER ON)
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.

DANGER
• Before connecting the batteries, disconnect the gray wire from the resistor board to the A2
motor terminal and remove the wire from the vehicle. Then raise the rear end of the vehicle
until the rear wheels are off the floor. See WARNING “Lift only one end of the vehicle...” in
General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1. With the gray wire removed, the solenoid can be
activated without supplying power to the rear wheels. Failure to disconnect the gray wire can
cause the vehicle to start abruptly.
1. If the battery cables were disconnected, reconnect them, positive cable first. Tighten terminal hardware
to 110 in-lb (12.4 N·m). See preceding DANGER.
