How to Replace the Solenoid on a Nissan

May 10, 2010 Views

The general purpose of the starting system is to rotate the engine and allow it to start. This system is comprised of a starter motor, a solenoid, wiring harness/cables and the battery. The battery provides electrical current to the solenoid, which passes the current to the starter motor and rotates the engine so it will start. If you turn the ignition switch to the on position and the car doesn't start, the trouble source is probably the starter solenoid. Replacing the solenoid can be completed in an afternoon with a few simple tools.

How to Replace a Solenoid Valve on an Irrigation Sprinkler

May 10, 2010 Views

In an irrigation system where each head can be run independent of others, each head has its own control wires and solenoid. The process of changing this solenoid is very similar to changing the solenoid on a control valve. The major difference is the need to make sure that the entire system has no water pressure. If the system has pressure, then when the solenoid is removed, the person changing the solenoid will get wet.

How to Replace the Starter in a Jeep Grand Cherokee

May 10, 2010 Views

A starter cranks the 3.7L or 4.7L engine, drawing air and fuel into the cylinders of your Jeep Grand Cherokee and compressing them so they will ignite. It also gets the ignition and crankshaft into place so the spark plugs will fire and the fuel injectors will operate. Therefore, a failing starter will prevent the engine from starting. Follow these steps to replace the starter in a 1999 to 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

How to Locate a Irrigation Solenoid Valve

May 10, 2010 Views

Most home irrigation systems have the control valves installed in ground boxes or above ground. But, in some situations the valves are buried directly in the ground without a box. In this case, locating the valve can be a hit or miss operation without the correct tool. While it is possible to locate a valve with a simple metal detector, most valves do not have enough metal to register on the detector. The easiest way to locate the valve is to trace the wire.

What is a Solenoid Valve?

November 26, 2009 Views

A solenoid is an electromechanical device which allows for an electrical device to control the flow of a gas or liquid. The electrical device causes a current to flow through a coil located on the solenoid valve. This current flow in turn results in a magnetic field which causes the displacement of a metal actuator.

Solenoid valve

April 7, 2009 Views

A solenoid valve is an electromechanical valve for use with liquid or gas controlled by running or stopping an electric current through a solenoid, which is a coil of wire, thus changing the state of the valve. The operation of a solenoid valve is similar to that of a light switch, but typically controls the flow of air or water, whereas a light switch typically controls the flow of electricity. Solenoid valves may have two or more ports: in the case of a two-port valve the flow is switched on or off; in the case of a three-port valve, the outflow is switched between the two outlet ports. Multiple solenoid valves can be placed together on a manifold.
