Hey everyone,
so I rebuilt my 420a dropped the engine back in the car and am trying to prime everything with oil before I start it. The issue I’m having is power to the starter solenoid from the starter switch. When the clutch is pushed it sends 12v to the solenoid telling it it’s good to crank. I weird issue I’m having is the post that the wire sits on the solenoid is not showing 12v when the clutch is pushed in. It doesn’t show anything on the multimeter. But when I disconnect the wire and test it is has over 12v like it should. I reattach the wire and nothing again… I know the starter works because I can put a direct 12v wire on the post and it cranks. It just won’t crank with the factory wire that has 12v when disconnected and nothing when connected can anyone help me with this? Or does anyone have a fix?
Thanks again!
I can send pictures if need be to explain cause it doesn’t make sense to me either
