    I took the solenoid to work to bench test it with our automation tech. Hooked up power (24vdc) and ground and checked continuity over the big terminals and its working properly. When I get home later ill try connecting the two big wires and see if something happens.

    This was one of the first steps, and surprisingly when checking voltage I had more voltage when the button is pressed than what there should be. Almost 30v which makes no sense to me. The manual just says if there's 24VDC present.

    I have no crank right now. I have not tried jumping the two big terminals because that wasn't in the manual. Everyone told me to start following the no-start TM so that's where I started. Is there a way to bench test the solenoid, because I have it removed right now.

    I started on the TM and have been following it to a T. This is where I'm at and I have continuity on TL 24 & TL 26.

    Also that second connection is for the troop alarm switch which I don't have. It's connector P39 so that explains why it's unplugged and just sitting there.

    Also what's with this white rubber stuff all over what looks to be the starter solenoid. They used a ton of it!

    The fluid from the beginning must have been the hydraulic fluid dripping from the seal being broken. I traced it all the way down. I found a couple loose connections by the starter. One looks for an o2 sensor and the other I'm not sure yet.
