Just a lil advice. Be careful with continuity test of wires with a digital volt ohm meter as there can be one strand of a multi strand wire intact with all others fletch broken or corroded. This will test “good” with the meter setup you are employing and not light a bulb or operate a solenoid! There may be other faults but I suspect if you do the same test with a 12 v bulb or proper automotive test light (not led) you will find a component or wire that will not flow enough current. BTW- do not use current draw test lights in modern computer controlled circuits in this fashion. Good luck. If you are unsure how to isolate a circuit and energize with test light - please say so and ask.
6v dry cell and 6 v bulb fine also.
