What do you mean by "jumped solenoid"? Posted by Bill Homer [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 94 9K CSE No start!, Robert Scott, Sun, 9 Nov 2003 09:15:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If you connected the small terminal of the solenoid directly to the battery, and then the car started, I would also suspect the ignition switch (and/or a relay in the circuit, but less likely). On the other hand, there are many posts on the subject of weak solenoids (particularly when hot) revitalized with a fix using a cheap Ford solenoid to control the path between the solenoid and the battery. Based on your history of beating on the solenoid to make it work, I think you have a good idea where the fault is!
Take a look at the link below, which has some test info as well. I believe that a repair of the SAAB solenoid requires removal of the starter, but I'm not sure.
