I have a 3 button in-handle two solenoid PTTS on my 1980 470 ( no trailer switch and no indicator gauge). She goes up and out fine but she won't go down. I can hear the down solenoid "clicking" on the pump but nothin happens. I disconnected and cleaned all the connections with no improvement. Battery is new. I haven't been able to do a voltage/continuity test as I was alone this weekend and I don't have a 10 ft arm span. I tried bypassing the solenoid hooking directly to the battery - it didn't seem to like that. Lots of arcing when I completed the circuit - I did it quickly so I hope I had the leads right.<br /><br />I'll test the circuit tonight with my "helper" . However if I assume the connections are good it kinda points to a bad secondary side on the solenoid given the primary seems to be working ( I hear clicking) Has any body had a similar fault? Any other suggestions? Has anybody serviced/repaired these solenoids before?
