In a solenoid valve system if the voltage on the coil is 118 VAC and a continuity test of the solenoid and coil measures 80 ohms yet the solenoid will not allow water flow the most likely cause of?

There could be more than one reasons. Applied voltage may not be 118 volts. Solenoid valve may have been stuck mechanically. Solenoid coil could be faulty, partially short.

You have an outside light that won't work but switch has power?
First and foremost make sure the light bulb is a good one. Try it in another fixture to make sure, even if it just came out of the box it was packed in. If you have checked the switch for power then you must have a tester. The power coming to the switch will most likely be on the top screw. Turn the switch on and see if you have voltage on the bottom screw. Check this voltage from the screws to the ground wire as the neutral will not be accessible in the back of the switch box. If there is voltage to the bottom screw then move on to the light fixture. Remove the outside light fixture and see if you get a voltage reading on the incoming hot (black ) wire. If there is voltage there then you have to see if the lamp holder is making continuity. If you have an ohm meter or a continuity meter remove the lamp fixture from the "hot" wire and the neutral connection and see if you get a reading across the fixtures black and white wire. This has to be tested with the bulb in the fixture. No continuity reading then there is trouble with the socket. Might be time to think about a new fixture.
How is an open circuit dangerous?
its likely to have the full supply voltage across it
There is a small green wire on your troy bilt solenoid that you dont know where it goes?
Likely a ground that goes to chassis.
What is effect of voltage and current by changing the length of wire?
By changing the length of wire, say reducing it, the resistance will drop and that will increase current flow but the voltage is less likely to change V=IR.
Will a switching power supply work on 277 volts?
Not unless it is rated for that voltage. You can likely find a step down transformer from 277 volt sto 120 volts.
How do you know if your coil is no good?
I assume you are talking about the starter relay or solenoid coil. If the engine is cranking but not starting, the coil is most likely good. If Nothing happens, check battery voltage at the coil. If voltage is present, coil (winding inside the solenoid or relay) is most likely bad. If no voltage present, then check for corrosion, loose terminal fittings, or any wire or cables that go from the battery to the starter.
Why power door locks don't work on 1993 Ford Tempo?
Make sure you have voltage to the master switch and any subseuent individual door switches. If the switch is not "clicking" when you depress it, and you have voltage to it, the problem is more than likely in the switch itself. You can take it apart carefully and check for proper alignment and corrosion. If the switch is working and allowing voltage thru the contacts--check the solenoid in the door. Check for voltage on the solenoid connector wiring terminals when you depress the switch. If you have voltage then you either have a bad solenoid (check by supplying voltage to one terminal and grounding the other--then reverse the connections) or bad wiring to ground. I'd personally check the solenoid first for voltage and work back toward the switches
What would cause a Saturn SW1 starter to not crank when engine is hot but start normally when cold?
I would check the starter solenoid before I investigated the starter - it's likely the cause. Have someone try starting the car hot while you measure the voltage between the starter side of the solenoid and negative - you should get battery voltage. If not, the problem is the solenoid (or somewhere before it, electrically).
My cub cadet wont start when turning switch it makes aclicking sound that comes from on top of pullie over blade?
That is probably your solenoid. It is what tells the battery to send voltage to the starter so it will crank the engine over. Most of the time it is just a low battery that makes it make that sound. There isn't enough voltage to keep the solenoid engaged. Although, it could be a bad solenoid. If jumping it doesn't start it then it is more than likely the solenoid. If jumping does start it then you need a battery.
Why is my 2002 F150 not cranking when the battery is good?
check your starter, it could either not but getting voltage at all (which would be the starter solenoid) or more likely it is just old or has failed and needs to be replaced

ON MY 93 CHEVY LUMINA When the key is turned in the ignition there is a clicking sound but the lights and radio still work any idea of what this is?
Most likely the battery is weak and dying. Enough voltage and current to make the solenoid barely engage (clicking in and out), but plenty of current and voltage for the radio and some of the lights.
What word most likely means a break in the continuity of something?
There are a few words you could use. Disruption, interruption or break would all work, as in: The continuity of the electrical current was interrupted. The continuity of the plain was broken by a low hill. The continuity of a process or a sequence is a hiatus.
Why solenoid valve is burned?
It has been overloaded is the most likely cause
What does the engine code P0750 on a 2000 Chrysler Town and Country mean?
Shift solenoid a malfunction. A failed solenoid pack is a likely cause.
Why does your jet ski only start when you jump the ignition selenoid?
The most likely explanation is that the solenoid itself has failed. The next most likely explanation is that the wiring to the ignition solenoid is not making proper contact or there's a bad ground connection. The least likely explanation is that the electronics that control the ignition solenoid (MPEM or whatever it's called on your model) is broken.
Why the ignition switch it turned but engine will not turn over?
It's rod activated. Make sure the rod engages the switch properly (the end goes into a hole in the switch itself. Then make sure it is properly adjusted. The mounting holes in the switch itself are elongated, so the mounting screws are also the adjustment screws. Once you are sure it's adjusted and installed correctly, try it again. If it still won't start, the switch isn't the problem. Check all of the fuses if you haven't already. Check voltage at the ignition switch. If it is getting voltage, check voltage or continuity at the solenoid. If you aren't getting power or continuity there, check the wiring harness plug. It's on the driver's side, it actually plugs into the back of the fusebox and is held in place with a long screw. Remember, you're dealing with a 40 year old car here. Corrosion at this plug is common after 40 years. A good cleaning and repeated reseating of the plug can usually fix the problem. Make SURE you disconnect the battery before messing with the plug! If you have voltage (check the voltage with the wire DISCONNECTED from the starter!) at the small starter wire when the switch is in the start position (or continuity between there and the switch) then the solenoid itself is most likely the problem. Now, obviously I'm assuming that the solenoid is NOT clicking, and the starter is NOT turning. If they are, but it won't fire, check voltage/continuity at the ignition coil. This goes through the firewall wiring harness plug as well. That plug also provides power TO the ignition switch, so if it's not getting voltage, it's probably the plug. This is all a process of elimination. I'm assuming the entire car isn't dead, because that would point to the battery, battery cables, or fusible link. ALL of the electrical power in the car goes from the battery, through the cables, fusible link (except for the starter lead) main harness plug and fusebox. From there it goes through the ignition switch, back through the fusebox and main harness plug. Those are the places to check.
