Starter solenoid current?
Something I don't know ... and can't seem to find out all that
easily. I'm trying to figure out the current draw by the starter solenoid, (not the starter motor) at terminal 50. It's powered through the ignition switch in the Golf GTI but the 4mm wiring has me baffled. That's too much current to go through a little ignition switch if the wire is sized for current capacity. So I assume it's sized to avoid voltage drop, which leaves me none the wiser regarding the current actually drawn by the starter solenoid. -- /"\ Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning, Perth, Western Australia \ / ASCII ribbon campaign | For every complex problem there is an X against HTML mail | answer that is clear, simple, and wrong. / \ and postings | --HL Mencken |
