Reference Post #283 - This is what I have done to run the tests suggested by HH56. Here is the first one:
"Place one meter lead on the terminal where one brush attaches to the two coil leads. With the meter on ohms, use the other probe to touch the metal support and make sure a coil isn't shorted. If good there, then connect to each of the harness wire leads in turn. Each should read a short there since there is no resistance to speak of in those coils."
I put my multimeter on OHMS and put one lead on the brush connected to the two wires going down to the coil (blue dot in picture). Next I probed all of the dots shown. Green dots indicate a good connection. The red dots showed no movement on my multimeter (no connection). I also tested the harness wires. They both had a good connection. The ground wire did not, but that is because it is not hooked up to anything right now.
On the bottom coil, I noticed no connection when touching the bottom wires. The top three show a connection. Could that be the problem or perhaps the outside coating on those wires got rubbed off during the cleaning process.
Any of this mean anything?
