I wired up my own wire harness (14 gauge) and am using a 30 amp relay (universal black plastic type). I sent an email to Randy at 5th Ave. I will post his answer here when he responds. Looking forward to getting this OD functional again. Although I am suspicious that I will need a new solenoid.
I have taken it apart once. I cleaned it thoroughly. The primary pull-in coil contacts were not breaking since the contacts mechanism had bent and the plunger was no longer engaging the contact "spring" upon pull-in. Therefore the pull-in coil was staying energized. I made some adjustments and verified I was only getting about 0.2 V voltage drop in a bench test and decided that was good and that the holding coil must be the only thing energized.(fried my current meter capability in an earlier test)
Sorry for the long story... | | |
