Where does the power go in a solenoid starter?
When you put the ignition key to position 3, power is supplied to the small centre pin. and current flows through the solenoids coil and exits to the ground.
How does the solenoid work on a Jeep YJ Fixya?
This coil when energized pulls up on a plunger with a connector plate at its top that makes contact between the solenoid’s heavy pins allowing current to flow from the left ‘power’ pin to the right ‘starter-motor’ pin. The solenoid contact should remain closed whilst the starter key is held at position 3 and the engine cranks over.
Why does my car say it has a bad starter solenoid?
Problems that might cause your car to act like it has a bad starter solenoid can include: Bad battery – If the battery voltage is low it will be unable to provide enough power to start your engine. Blown fuse – Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best one. A blown fuse in the starter circuit could be the cause of a no-start problem.
When does a solenoid need to be replaced?
Starter – Some solenoids are mounted to the starter, but some are located directly inside the starter housing. When this is the case, it may be necessary to replace the entire starter when the solenoid goes bad. Sometimes the starter itself is the problem. Electrical issues can be annoying and inconvenient.

Why is the solenoid on my Jeep YJ Fixya not working?
The solenoid contact should remain closed whilst the starter key is held at position 3 and the engine cranks over. If the battery is in poor condition, loose battery terminals or poor cabling the solenoid can click rapidly (woodpecker) and the engine will refuse to crank.
