Hi Cannonball,


You might want to disconnect the solenoid trigger wire at the solenoid.  If it still turns over then it is a bad solenoid, if it stops turning over then it is a bad switch.

Under certain freaky circumstances involving a very low battery about to die the solenoid can snap shut to then weld itself shut and do that too. Solenoid then may be bad but not the ultimate problem, which will be the battery.
