First, don't put all your eggs in one basket. By no means do I rely on just a ohm reading. Relying on OEM trouble charts early on This was one of my pet peeves. Ohm this ohm that ohm till ell freezes over. If all fails replace the ECM/part. If they would have just told us what the voltage should be life would have been good. That info was out there it just was not available to a independent in OEM form.
I did not throw my ohm meter away : ) It still comes in handy for a quick check. OK time to kill wire the solenoid up let it get warm and check the ohms. For the poor boys and giggles.
Lets use that useless ohm meter to check you new solenoid, For the poor boys and giggles.
With so much high tech equipment on hand I can tell ya a simple ohm check on a new/rebuilt part would have saved me countless lost of billable hours.
I feel I may have coined this phrase as I do get some strange looks from highly accredited instructors when I take an on going training class.
A ohm meter can tell you its bad but it can't tell ya if its good. Let that sink in and don't throw away that ohm meter.
My shop ice maker quit years ago a simple ohm check of the water valve is all I needed to confirm the solenoid was bad/good.
I put a rebuilt engine in a 94 Toyota truck as always I put a set of rebuilt injectors on it. It was a dud no power it ran great just low on power. Long story short If I had only ohm the new injectors while I had them in my hand.
Don't throw away they ohm meter yet : )

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
