You can if you have a neutral wire present. If the existing switch is what is called a "switch loop" then you can not change the existing switch to a switched outlet. You can identify a switch loop by looking at the wires coming into the switch bow. If there are only one set of wires usually a black and white and they go directly to the switch then you have a switch loop
The wiring of the solenoid will depend on what purpose the solenoid serves and the brand. In basic terms, when power is turned onto the solenoid, the inner coil pulls the plunger. The unit needs power and a ground, with a switch or relay to trigger it.
It depends on what the wires are connected to and where the power supply is located. If the switch is lighted power has to get to the switch for the light. With a lighted switch you have a hot supply side, a neutral and then the wire going to the bell. So if Black 1 and Red 1 are supply voltage you would connect Red 1 to the hot side of switch, Black 1 would go to common as would Black 2. Red 2 would go to Bell side of the switch.
When a switch is open (wires not connected) it is considered off. When a switch is closed it is considered on. If you move a switch and the wires are not connected the the circuit is open and current cannot run throughout the circuit to power the device.
If you need to switch 2 poles then that's what you'll need. Just don't get your wires crossed
The switch is on the shift knob. There is also a relay and solenoid. The most common problems are * Bad solder joints in the relay * broken wires at the switch * broken wires at the solenoid * bad solenoid For more info on OD problems go to http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/ It is the ultimate Volvo 940 DIY site.
The starter needs a large wire from the battery and a wire from the starter switch. These are connected to the solenoid that is attached to the starter.
the solenoid is on the starter. It's the part the wires go into.
if your standing above the solenoid the wire to the stater goes on the left all other wires go on the right

In the centre console. You need to unbolt the plastic surround, lift and turn it at the shifter. You will expose the shift mechanism and see an electric switch near the shift lever at the top. Follow the wires attached to it, going under the white plastic, and there is the solenoid. The lockup problem is generally the solenoid but can be the switch or the brake light switch at the brake pedal.
well take the old one off look at the wires and there you go
If you are talking about the fuel shutoff solenoid then there are two wires
If the switch is "closed" both wires should be HOT - with switch open one wire should go COLD-- if not defective switch
1 big wire to batt positive other big wire to starter, 1st smalll wire to ign switch 2nd small wire to ground.
Sounds like a bad ignition switch. It could also be a bad starter solenoid. If you can find the solenoid you can unplug one of the small wires while it is trying to crank over and see if it stops. If it does it is probably the switch. If it doesn't then it is probably the solenoid.
The 1997 Nissan Maxima. Reverse solenoid switch is located on the starter. The solenoid switch is attached to the side of the starter.
