4. Probe the mounting base of the solenoid. Probe
small post #1 and observe the VOM. Probe post #2
and observe the VOM. The VOM should read no
continuity in both cases.
5. Apply 12 VDC to the two small posts. There should
be an audible click as the solenoid engages.
6. With the solenoid engaged (12 VDC to the small
posts), measure the resistance at the two large posts.
The VOM should read less than 10 ohms (continuity).
7. Correctly reinstall the solenoid and all related wires
and connectors.
