YAY!~!! I hate my broken stuff... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

okey dokey... since everyone has been on the topic of shaving their trucks... I figured today (since Im on some much needed leave), that I would finish up MY shaved door kit on my truck..

Little did I realize, that my solenoids, are fried!!!! neither of them work anymore, dunno why... tested em out with a straight wire from the battery with the case on the negative terminal (thats how I was taught to verify working order of solenoids of such).

so the fun continues

.

Wish me luck, as my tax money will be going 1/4 towards getting my 240SX, 1/4 towards debt, and the rest towards Project Hardcore (my truck)

Dont know if this helps.

I'm in no way saying you did it wrong. All i know is when it comes to the electrical stuff, it gets kinda tricky. when i put new window motors in my 79 camaro, i wired them up and tested them. but i didnt have them grounded properly. i ended up with reversed polairty window motors. which was a PITA. i think i ended up pulling the gears or the gear housing from the motors and swapping them out to make them right again. I dont know if anything like that happened to your solenoids, but after reading the instructions on the window motors (do not test until fully installed) i felt like an idiot. it was my first electrical project on any car and it was a learning experience.

I'm new to the forums, again, dont know if this helps.

240SX with an LS1 swap? That would make it a fun car! Hows the weather down there this week? I miss the mild 'winter' that let me work on my junk all year..

knightlife · 01-29-2008, 08:42 AM

been in the 60s during the day... low 30s at 6pm-8am... makes me kinda glad Im "swing" shift...

an ls1 in a 240 would be unorthodox lol... dont give me any ideas... I have enough of my own! lol
