Tuga - looks to me like you met the criteria I mentioned for a good switch, not bad. Recapping, .1V or less when closed, and that is what you had, and greater than that when open, which 2 volts is certainly there. So, looks good to me. Am I missing something?

So I would assume that my Batt Merge solenoid is bad.

Sorry Russ, it was .2v DC - I typed 2v. DC incorrectly. The voltage reading was about the same with the switch off as it was with the switch on.

So that is why I assumed the Batt Merge solenoid is bad, am I correct?
