This wire is connected to the solenoid along with a wire going to the power distribution system (Fuse box), but the connection or split is after the fusible link on the wire comming from the alternator. On most vehicles, those connections are attached to the same solenoid bolt. The connection there at the bolt, is done there because the large Positive battery cable also comes to that bolt.
Starter problems can be caused by several things: Weak battery because of battery failure or alternator that is not charging the battery. Falty connection between the battery and the starter. Solenoid failure or bad connection on the solenoid. Starter failure. Neutral lockout switch failure. Bad connection between keyswitch and starter.
It could be poor battery connections, the starter,
The solenoid is on the starter.
Starter solenoid? Follow the + battery cable it connects to starter solenoid
Your alternator is not charging the battery. This could be caused by alot of reasons, such as; 1- the alternator, or built-in voltage regulator is bad. 2 - Your belt that drives the alternator is loose, of glazed. 3 - one of the cables, black(-) or red (+), is loose, or not tight at the battery, or the starter, or alternator. First, with a volt meter. Check battery voltage with engine off, and all accessories off, it should read around 12.5 -13v. Now start engine, and see if voltage output increases - say 14 - 14.5 volts, then put on all accessories with engine running, and should still read around 14v......, , This will tell you the alternator is good.....Tom.
Check for a bad fusable link at alternator
No it cannot unless alternator is not charging the only power a diesel requires is for fuel cutoff solenoid
It could be solenoid, starter, battery, alternator not CHARGING the battery or corroded battery terminals.
Yes, this situation could have something to do with the alternator. It could also have something to do with the solenoid, and the spark plugs as well.
My understanding is that you are hearing the starter "click" but it does not engage. If that is correct your answer is: Typically either 1. the battery isn't fully charged (either a problem with the charging system, something is running the battery down or the alternator isn't charging properly) 2. a poor electrical connection somewhere between the starter and the battery or 3. a problem with the starter or solenoid.
If you have a new alternator its as simple as run the one wire to the solenoid. If you are converting the alternator to a one wire, you will need an external regulator.

Connected to the solenoid. It is the single chord connected to the bottom terminal of the solenoid and is connected to the chord coming from the alternator. A blown fusible link will cause typical bad alternator symptoms and not allow the battery to be charged by the alternator.
The solenoid on a Caterpillar C15 diesel engine can be found on top of the alternator. The solenoid is held on by four screws.
will the solenoid in a car cause it to shut off like a bad alternator
Starter solenoid.
There are many reasons why a car won't start. Some of these reasons could be the lack of fuel, drained battery, bad starter, bad alternator or bad starter solenoid.
