Re: Torsion Ride Actuator Solenoid

The solenoids take a ground to operate which comes from a relay in the control switch. The voltage to the solenoid coil is provided by the inline 20 amp fuse that also provides voltage to the motor. The solenoids are completely different from a standard starter solenoid.
You should have voltage to both solenoids on one of the large terminals. Here is a schematic of the 55 setup. Note that if the solenoids are mounted incorrectly and the wrong large terminal has the voltage the coil is not getting power and solenoid will not operate.
If you can ground the bar to the small solenoid terminal and the solenoids come in, it sounds as if that part is OK but the control switch is not getting power or it or the limit sw has a problem. Do you have the 12v measured to ground on the light green wire? If the control switch is one of the solid state redos is the polarity correct?
