Which symptom does an open hold-on winding produce?

  • A.The solenoid fails to operate at all, which occurs because the plunger cannot be moved without both windings
  • B.The starter spins freely
  • C.The starter cranks slowly, which follows from the reduced magnetic force holding the contacts closed during cranking
  • D.The solenoid clicks in and immediately drops out repeatedly

Answer: D

With the pull-in winding shorted out and no hold-on winding, the plunger falls back, which reopens the contacts and the cycle repeats. The result is rapid chattering. A flat battery produces the same noise for a different reason. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly. A limit that survives making every external component ideal is an intrinsic one, and worth knowing for that reason.
