Magnetic Switch Hold-In Test




1. Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and body.

CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning.

3. If pinion remains out, everything is in order. If pinion moves in, hold-in circuit is open. Replace magnetic switch.
