Does anyone out there know if our battery solenoids are continual or intermittent? And you should hear a definite click when you push the battery boost switch? Maybe a part number?
Thanks, Scott

Duty cycle is continuous.
They are NOT latching, meaning the contactor only closes when coil has power applied.

With a test light, should you see any power to either of the 2 SMALLER post on the front of the solenoid (without the battery boost wire attached)? I thought that the dash battery boost switch energized the solenoid via the wire from the switch to the solenoid to combine all batteries.
Thanks.
