Grounding the governor and with the red light coming on, the relay is working and should be providing 6v at terminal 4 and less -- maybe 5v or so -- at terminal 3 because that voltage comes from the first relay contacts -- same as 4 -- then thru the second relay coil before reaching the solenoid 3.

The red light gets its power from the same place that feeds solenoid 4 terminal. If you have those voltages and the light it is the solenoid but if you do not have the voltage at terminal 4 look and see if there are inline connectors that in Clipper body cars is located on the frame somewhere near where the drivers foot would rest. Imagine the conventional bodies are similar. If you have them it could be a connector didn't appreciate the constant current and burned.
