Default Re: Westach 6 volt tachometer review, attn: zoegrant

Anteek29...when under the car with the solenoid wired up and holding the solenoid in my hand I have 6.4 volts but when the solenoid is slipped into place the voltage drops to 4.3 volts......I have no idea why that is ?
Even when I run a completely new heavier wire with the solenoid ( set into) the tranny the volts drop to 4.3 volts.
The ground wire for the solenoid is the blue wire and comes from the rear kickdown switch contact on the switch...That blue wire is now a #14 gage but will change it to a # 10 gage wire to see if that does anything, I doubt it as it worked for many years with an #16 gage wire. Somehow the solenoid drops in voltage power when in the tranny.
I will work on it again first chance I get.
JIMNNN..I will order Randy`s book tomorrow...thanks to all.
