Q
607 6/2/2002 5:52:27 PM 6/3/2002 Rich Farr toptin@aol.com 79 Newell solenoid panel Our 79 Newell has 4 solenoids (mounted in square pattern)inside right rear tail light door (next to radiator). Facing front of coach;
LH bottom = battery merge;
RH bottom = engine start;
RH top = engine stop;
LH top = unknown;
The labels have long since vanished and thusfar, am unable to identify what LH top is used for - could anyone please share that info?
The driver for sudden interest in these solenoids is, that the battery merge solenoid has gone bad (shorted).
When I went to the local solenoid store, it was amazing how many different solenoids there are on the market.
In the absence of part number/s it seemed reasonable to replace with high amp (80), normally open, rated for continuous use. It stopped the short, but fails to energize - so still no battery merge.
Would love to have a solenoid brand name, part numbers and tech specs info for those 4 solenoids.
Thanks in advance for assistance..
Best,
Rich farr
