Jamie Darian Brown 9 #1 Posted May 30, 2018 Hi, Here is a pic of my solenoid on my B80 that needs replacing. When searching for one online I see ones that show up for a wheelhorse but do not exactly look like this one. Will these "new" ones fit but just look different? Trying to make sure I order right one.

Racinbob 10,276 #2 Posted May 30, 2018 If your parts store doesn't have the three terminal you can use a Ford four terminal. Simply ignore the 'I' terminal. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 10,276 #5 Posted May 30, 2018 As long as it's 12 volts it will work great. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,730 #6 Posted May 30, 2018 You should also be able to take your old one into any auto parts store and they will fix you up. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,630 #7 Posted May 30, 2018 Your present solenoid may be the problem, or there may be another problem that makes you think there is a bad one. Have you cleaned and tightened all electrical connections including grounds? If you run a small jumper wire from your battery "+" terminal to the small terminal on the solenoid do you hear it close? Just hate to see people buy a bunch of parts only to find that there was another simple fix that could have cured the problem. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Darian Brown 9 #8 Posted June 1, 2018 I tested it like you said. I don't hear it close or click so I assume its bad. Thank for that tip on testing it. And thanks to all for y'alls help! Gotta get it ready to till the garden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldredrider 2,547 #9 Posted June 1, 2018 Solenoids do go bad, but make sure it is well grounded when testing it before writing it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
