wdoland Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 How do you test it? Can they be repaired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb1949 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Fluid Drive. Solenoid can be tested on or off the car. It has points under the cover. http://www.imperialclub.com/Repair/Lit/Master/012A/index.htm Also check a wiring diagram and the harness for proper electrical connections to all components that make it work.

Dodgeb4ya Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hook a battery/ or charger of at least 10 amps to the terminals either way. The plunger should push out a 1/4" hard and stay out until you disconnect. This is for the SSS4003 solenoid not the governor with points in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdoland Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Yeah, I hooked it up and there was no movement. Is there anyway to take them apart? Can they be repaired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdoland Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Nothing, completely dead. Now I'm trying to figure out how to open it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb1949 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I don't think it opens or is fixable. My mistake, the governor has the points under the cover. Start searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 They are not hard to find on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to know. If you plan to rewind, measure number of turns and wire diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcDeSoto Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Chrysler and DeSoto shop manual say if the solenoid stops working go to your local DeSoto/Plymouth dealer and buy a new one. And tell 'em Groucho sent you! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdoland Posted June 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Well I tried... I believe it's easier to get into Fort Knox than this solenoid. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I wouldn't even try to open one of those up! Easier to find another one by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
