Textbook Problem

If the solenoid clicks while trying to crank the engine with the starter, which of the following is not a probable cause?

1. A faulty neutral safety switch

Low battery voltage

Low voltage available to the solenoid

An open in the hold-in winding

To determine

Which is not the cause if the engine does not start?

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The solenoid clicks while trying to crank the engine with the starter.

The noise is mainly caused due to the plunger is moving back and forth. In normal conditions, the plunger moves and is kept their due to the magnetic field and comes to its initial position until the starting switch is on. To move this solenoid plunger a strong magnetic field is always required. Thus, a strong current is always needed to create that field. Therefore, if the current is not enough to produce strong magnetic fields the problem arises...
