47 Clipper R9 OD

OK-I finally got under the car. Lead #3 shows 4.2 ohm to ground. #4 at the solenoid shows open which it should since there is a contact inside the solenoid that must make to hold it in.
Next the ground wire that bolts to the OD case is not connected. I assume there is a connection point near where the centrigual mech lead exits.

I tried and put battery voltage on #3 is see if I could get the solenoid to do something-no luck. I suspect the solenoid is mechancially locked or something in the OD mechanism is jamed. What happens to just remove the solenoid? Will gear out pour out? What is the installation procedure for the solenoid?
