Thanks for the video. I have the same problem with mine. Sometimes I just don't understand why someone would put the solenoid under the seat.On no I' m not going to take the whole body of loose I will find away.
Load check battery and fuse 😅seems the Walmart batteries are not much on power anymore, 300 cca and barely turning over, put on TSC 300 cca battery and it spins it like crazy 😢
@@jameschester3986I have a tester that rates the cca and for the last several years they are 30/50 cca below the rating listed on them I went back to the old green ones again 😊😊😊
I'm sure your methods are successful, but the video is TMI. I think it is more about what things should do instead of what isn't working. I would have started by tracing the fault. The starter wasn't working, why ? No solenoid click, why? Did battery negative make it to the engine ? Does the starter work if you connect battery positive to it ? You're going down rabbit holes, and losing track. There are possibly other problems, but start by solving this one. There may very well be bad safety switches or wiring, you said no headlights. Fixing this may fix that. Point is, tackle one symptom/problem at the time.😊
Good idea remounting that Switch
Tyrell would be PROUD
I still love traces wires and looks for shorts and bad connections 😮😮😮 it’s just fun to win every time 😊
I love the money face 😅. It’s so funny I laugh every time you do it 😂

Those solenoids are garbage! My stuff and some of my customers get the Ford type Automotive solenoids!
Have fun,,,Dilly dilly!
I buy them from old ford pick ups at local parts store, cost 12 bucks more but will last a lifetime 😊
Great job troubleshooting the problem. Great video.
I really liked the putty knife being used as a blocker. Such a simple little trick. Hope I remember that. Thanks brother

I was thinking both of the wires to seat needs to be unplugged 😮
they were
Could you run a Power Pack directly to stater and this see if it Turns this enough if it working
yes to see if the starter works... but the problem was before that
