A solenoid switch is an electromechanical device that serves to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. It typically consists of a solenoid coil that, when energized, generates a magnetic field that moves a plunger or armature, closing or opening electrical contacts. This allows the switch to either connect or disconnect power to a load, such as a starter motor in vehicles. Solenoid switches are commonly used in automotive applications, industrial machinery, and various electronic devices for reliable and automated control.

How do you wire a solenoid switch on a Mercury Ford Topaz?

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.

Why two solenoids for a 1977 Gran Marquis one on starter and one on firewall?

My '77 F250 also has two solenoids for the starter, one on the fender and the other on the starter. The one on the starter is the one you'd expect and has a mechanical function, it moves the starter gear to mesh with the ring gear on the flywheel to turn the engine over. The solendoid on the fender has an electrical function as a relay. A relay is basically a switch operated by another switch. In this case, the controlling switch is the ignition switch and the switch it operates is the solenoid. The current needed to operate the starter is so great that it would wear out your ignition switch plus require huge wires running from the battery to the dash so instead of switching this huge current, the ignition switch switches only the smaller current needed to operate the solenoid and the solenoid switches the huge current. When you turn the ignition switch on, it energizes the solenoid which closes the circuit that supplies current to the starter.
