Hi all. Without taking it apart, how does one visually tell the difference between a continuous duty solenoid and an external starter solenoid? Measure Amp draw of solenoid itself? The separator solenoid I'm using for aux. battery #2 looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/o53shuu but it has no markings. Packaging for this part did not indicate that it was a starter solenoid but I now have to wonder. It works fine, bench tests perfectly, but if I recall, it's smaller than the solenoid I have separating the aux. battery #1 That solenoid was sold to my by an RV shop. Image of that part: http://tinyurl.com/q676kqe Thanks Neil. -- Neil n Blog: Vanagons, Westfalia, general <http://tubaneil.blogspot.ca> 1988 Westy Images <https://picasaweb.google.com/musomuso/New1988Westy> 1981 Westfalia "Jaco" Images, technical <http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/> Vanagon-Bus VAG Gas Engine Swap Group <http://tinyurl.com/khalbay>
